Multiple Sclerosis and Race: Confronting Inequities

[@kellieg1970]

Great info! I was diagnosed with RRMS in February 2006 at the age of 35. Patient advocacy is needed especially in the black community!!

I was also diagnosed at 35. I got the same brush off. Ppl with autoimmune diseases move on silence. I had tp stand up & start walking before I got ushered to get a MRI.

I have a good friend close to me that suffers with this but wasn't diagnose till her 50s. I want to become more aware and educated for myself as a black woman. Thank you Sherri for shining the light

I was diagnosed in 2012 at the age of 32. It took me more than 5 years to find out. I’ve went to a neurologist and had vestibular therapy years before I found I had RRMS. I am a black woman and I feel that they didn’t put more effort into me and send me to get further test. They never once told me I might have MS. They only focus on me losing weight and saying I have migraines headaches. One day I was really feeling bad with a high fever and had to keep urinating at least 3 times within 15 minutes for hours and I went to the ER. I was admitted for 5 days and took many test and it took me 2 weeks to find out what my problem was. If your or anyone has MS I’m praying for you because it’s not easy on some days.

THANK YOU so much for sharing this information to the world. As a person living with MS and watching my MOM suffer from this disease for years before passing, I am grateful to learn and recognize I can live a healthy productive life afterall.... it took a minute, but now I love and trust my Neurologist :)

I have 15 lesions. Age 33 with an 8 year old that I am fighting to keep up with. Tired. Depressed most days but love my job as a waitress. Fight ms warriors. Fight... fight the depression, fight the fatigue, fight the vision problems, fight slurred speech and make writing your best friend when your memory is affected.

I'm 51 ,been dismissed by Healthcare, had the same thing as the young woman said about the head pain, finally getting an mri to find out ms 2nd week in this year. I'm here because I always thought that ms was not in my community as an AA woman 😢

[@ashrhennee5565]

Diagnosed with MS March of 2023. Similar experience as Victoria where I was unheard and dismissed. My anemia supposedly over shadowed what was really happening to me. After pushing and complaining I was finally heard and Diagnosed. Don't allow others to dismiss your medical concerns.

"..between ages 20 and 40..." Yeap, I had some simptoms of MS for years, but I was not aware what that is and wrote those off as just fatigue, until exactly one week before my 40th birthday my left hand started tingling, then both arms got weak, unfortunately it perfectly coincided with me slipping on ice and falling, then it was found my neck vertebrae have some deformations, thus it got mistaken for those vertebrae pushing on nerves. Three more years passed, and again exactly one week before my birthday I started to limp. This time neurologist said this does not fit previous diagnosis and sent me to another neurologist specialized in MS. Suspicions turned out to be based, MRI found several damaged spots on my spinal cord around neck and chest area, brains are _almost_ intact - just two bad spots (one area might influence speech, the other - movement coordination). I am somewhat surprised black people experience this too. I am "snow white" - from Northern Europe - world's hotspot of MS, thus the further form us your ancestors have descended, the safer in theory one should be. Supposedly this at least partly is a legacy from times of the Black Death - people with predisposition to auto-immune problems have higher immunity to plague, but there is a tradeoff, my mom has only slight thyroid issues, so she takes additional vitamin D, I also take vit. D, but now I'm handicapped and can't walk for more than a few hundred meters, even even that is possible only on smooth pavement, on a gravel, grass or pavement with cracks the distance drops to mere dozens of meters.

Wow. I went to school with Victoria I had no idea she went through that

[@gospel3067]

It's probably many other ppl you know that have MS. We look great on the outside most of the time. But lesions are doing a gymnast routine in my brain & spinal tap.
