My Multiple Sclerosis Story: Symptoms and Diagnosis | Life of an MS Patient & Explaining Symptoms

[@cardinalrobbins9453]

Thank you for sharing your journey. You (and Selma Blair) have given me the courage to share mine as well. The more I learn, the more I realize MS has been a major part of my life for an extremely long time. But we are warriors! We will adapt and continue to live life to the best of our ability.

[@LifeofSebMS]

Thank you for your comment! And indeed, I want to show the world that our lives still carry on however difficult we may have it!

[@shrutijoshi553]

As a psychologist, I understand all of your pain.., the depth of disease. I pray to God to give courage & strength to all of them who are suffering. You are strong enough dear people.

[@laurieberry162]

Shruti, you don’t understand unless you have multiple sclerosis. I think you want attention. You aren’t powerful and special.

[@reeqonmedia]

Saying "I understand" is really unprofessional for a psychologist. Word it better, "I can only imagine" since you don't have MS yourself. I wouldn't want to sit with a psychologist with that type of mentality or reckless wording.

[@j.l.starling8934]

I'm glad the two previous replies see through the bullshit of your comment. You can be familiar with the pain, perhaps through observing/working with other clients, but you cannot truly understand individual pain from their point of view. Seriously, wtf were you thinking by flexing you were a psychologist. "I understand all of your pain". Wtf??

[@austinbandy5818]

A psychologist who chats wishes to an invisible sky fairy who gives cancer to kids is not someone who'd I'd let anywhere neat my ailment lol

[@DancingTehani]

100% @krux I agree. As a person who suffers from these symptoms AND goes to therapy with a real professional, her words that she “understands” deeply is insulting to me, given she has no experiential lived reality. Thank you for speaking the truth. It is unhealthy when people misrepresent themselves this way - it makes creating safe spaces for others even more difficult

[@melymichu6731]

I didn't know the exact symptoms of MS till I saw Selma Blair talking about them. I am a huge fan of hers and seeing her go through such a debilitating disease and fighting it, just impacted me hugely. My heart goes to everyone suffering from this disease. I admire also all the people coming out and posting these videos and sharing their stories to create awareness and more understanding on this. I hope one day there will be a cure. Blessings to all

[@cindy7992]

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with MS and I did some research on alot of things , and when I did my research on the list of medications I could try , I am very nervous to start on a medication because of some of the harsh side effects, and when my blood tests came back everything was fine except my vitamin D3 was very low and I also had gotten covid 19 which sparked a trigger in my immune system, and then I did some more research and it saids that having low vitamin D3 can trigger an Ms attack and getting a unknown virus can trigger an Ms attack and stress can be a trigger and eating unhealthy can trigger for an Ms attack , so I decided that for a year im going to eat really healthy and get as much sunlight and eat alot of rich foods in vitamin D3 and exercise because exercise is really good for the body to avoid an Ms attack and naturally you body wants to heal itself but if you have alot of toxins and other issues your body has to fight off first then the body cant heal what you want it to heal, and in that year if doing my very best of staying healthy doesn't work and in my MRI tests shows that I developed more lesions then I will consider taking an medication, alot of those medications have liver side effects and possibly brain infection side effects that can cause death and I seen alot of things that saids that the medications could be used for chemo for cancer which is very strong to take and the medications make your immune system very weak which can be scary and some of the medications that you can take can make your Ms worse if you got off of it so that's another concern and the doctors want to say that you'll be fine but my doctor wanted me to do a medication that can cause an brain infection and he didn't tell me that side effect the pharmacy had told me about it so I would say make sure you do your research as well , and the doctors want to say that they don't know what causes Ms but I have a very strong feeling that it's from not being healthy , having alot of inflammation in your body can cause Ms triggers and can cause other diseases as well , alot of the process foods that people eat have alot of chemicals in the food that your liver and body have to detox from it and if you eat constant process food your liver and body can go on overload and act out of wack , your hormones act out of wack and your immune system will act out of wack as well, vitamin D3 is probably the most important vitamin to have and make sure it's not low ever , I understand that I could put myself in risk for a year by doing the holistic porch but I would like to at least try that way first and if I know that I tryed my very best to be healthy and if it still doesn't work then I guess I will try a medication.

[@LifeofSebMS]

Take the medication as early as possible. Healthy eating won’t stop the progression. Hope you make the right choice 🙏🏻🧡

[@KatiiieCakes]

Wow 20 lesions, you poor guy! I'm recently diagnosed but only had 3. My attack/relapse was very different from yours. Tingling from the neck down then paralyzed on the right side for just over a week. I see a lot of people arguing in the comments. This disease is individual for every single person. It is not a competition. If anything we need to ban together. Thank you for sharing, it helps hearing peoples stories.

[@sleekcartim]

yes def gotta stick together! My first doc said he thought only young girls got MS, i said NEXT! I only had 3 lesions also, my neuro said i cant have MS cuz i only had 3 LOL. I said i know MS confirmed ppl with NO lesions. I try not to get jaded but damn ive had my share of bad docs... After 7 MRIs, 2 LPs I STILL havnt got an official DX, after years of living with it there isnt anything else it could be....recently ive heard very interesting things like ambien (the sleeping pill) for dramatic improvements in brain injury, stroke patients etc...i wonder if MS ppl can benefit?! another one is QUALITY coconut oil for cog fog & fatigue, i like it. I take 1 tablespoon a day with food or in hot drink, some ppl say the saturated fat isnt good but why not cut down on other fat (like crisco, lard, butter) when cooking, use better for you coconut oil instead.... 5K to 10K a day Vit D (infused WITH Vit K) with biggest meal of the day, make sure you eat calcium rich foods daily as it helps Vit D absorb. these are just a few things to get you curious to research for yourself

I loved the part when you talked about the handsome doctor 😂. I had a similar experience. I have Crohn’s disease and had 2 surgeries in the past... The first one was the worst and I had to be hospitalized for 5 weeks. Prior to the surgery, I had lost 12 kilos, felt so powerless and looked terrible. One day, while I was recovering, this super handsome doctor came into my room and just seeing him made my day, but at the same time I started thinking “shit, why am I meeting such a gorgeous guy now that I look like shit?!” 😂.

Hello. I was diagnosed in 2014. Tried 2 drugs & nothing made me feel better. Went from an EDSS of 0 to 5.5 in about 18 months. Having nowhere to run I opted to go abroad for HSCT. I had the treatment in 2016. 25 months after being diagnosed. It’s 2020 now so I’m about 44 months post treatment & my EDSS is now 3. Haven’t done an infusion or any other MS drug since 2/2/2016. Feeling the best since being diagnosed. My balance is slightly off now. No more fatigue, no more heat issues or brain fog. There’s hope for those who really weary it.

You’re a very courageous man and your upbeat attitude and humor shine quite bright. It sounds like you had Trigeminal nerve involvement (specifically v2 and v3 branches). If you ever come down with Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), I highly recommend you contact Dr. Ronald Brisman, a New York City based doctor.
