This is a video about MY own signs and symptoms that I had Multiple Sclerosis or MS, if you have any or all of these symptoms it absolutely does not mean that you definitely have MS, please consult your doctor if you suspect you have MS.

I’ve had symptoms most of my life, always dismissing them. At age 42, the heat started bothering me. The fatigue was kicking my ass; considering how high energy I’ve always been. The skin itch in my right shoulder began keeping me up all night. Then I began feeling that vibrating electrical sensation in my feet. Then my face....the face was horrific pain. The muscle spasms wouldn’t stop. They began causing stiffness and severe pain. My balance was a mess, and I began falling a lot. It took doctors 3 years to diagnose me, even though my brain MRIs were showing lesions and they growing. After 10 years of diagnosis, my left leg is having a message problem because I can’t get my hip to left my leg without me having to swing my leg around. Back pain is my daily pain. I have such terrible dizziness that I literally feel sick to my stomach from it. MS had attacked my heart twice. Making it impossible to lay down during an attack. I have PPMS....and the symptoms never stop. But ...I’m still walking on my own...even though my lesions say I should be in a wheelchair. Keep up the fight!

As a couple of others have mentioned, this is also an indication of B12 deficiency. It mimics MS because B12 is required to keep the protective sheath around the nerves healthy. Without it, it disintegrates and the damage begins. I experienced all of these symptoms, along with a ton of others. I could barely walk, fell constantly, was developing dementia symptoms, couldn't physically speak at times, severe vertigo, on and on. They thought I had MS, but when the scan was clean they didn't know what to do. Months later, when I literally felt like I was weeks from death, one doctor realized they'd missed doing a few blood tests. Severe B12 deficiency. With treatment, I had some improvement, but was left with permanent nerve damage. While off work trying to recover, I developed a severe neuroimmune disease and have been almost completely disabled since. Fast forward 14 years, I've been experiencing new symptoms so I just had more MRIs done. I've got damage and lesions on my brain stem. Since so many months passed between the initial MRI and discovering the B12 deficiency, and because there was no second MRI done, I don't know if it's damage from the deficiency or if I've developed MS now, too. Waiting for further testing to determine the answer. Long story short, B12 deficiency is extremely serious. It does the exact same damage as MS, and people are sometimes mistakenly diagnosed with MS when it's actually a deficiency that can easily be treated. For some reason, a lot of doctors neglect to test for B12. I was shocked when I was told this was what was initially making me so incredibly ill, but I've since learned a lot about it. The past 14 years have been medical chaos for me. This young lady is very right.... don't rely on doctors to automatically know the answer. You know your body. If something doesn't feel right, don't stop until you find a doctor who will help you.

I think I might have ms, all the different symptoms I have, in the last 8 to 10 yrs in my mind point to it. I keep asking my Dr if all the individual symptoms I have could possibly all add up to 1 main illness but they treat 1 complaint each time, ignore the rest. But blinding headaches, numbness, tingling, eye pain, twitching, vertigo are getting worse and they won't listen. At this stage I think my own family think I'm exaggerating. With covid, it's getting impossible to be sent for tests, but I'm going to ask to be sent for mri. I'm even having panic attacks now, I'm just so fed up. It's great having videos like this, make you aware of what to look out for. Thank you

Selma Blair. The famous actress went through the same exact thing. She had MS for years and no doctor would do a thing until she physically fell in front of her doctor because she couldn’t stand. Then she was diagnosed. Watch her story if you are interested. It sort of frightened me as I suffer from health anxiety so I try my best to stay away from these types of videos but it shocks me how doctors cannot connect these dots.

I think they do connect the dots, but because of their greed they wait until they are like 92% sure that the symptoms indicate a certain illness before they do any diagnostic testing/imaging, in an effort to reduce wear & tear of resources & equipment. They even train us to do this in the healthcare field (fraud waste and abuse training). It’s the reason people on Medicaid & Medicare have to wait constantly on approval by insurance b/c of too much wear & tear & waste of materials in the past for patients who’s symptoms were mild. Which is BS because they misdiagnosed people & dismiss ppl constantly all in an effort to protect “the equipment” that could easily be replaced but someone prefers to pocket funds used for that

My sister has had so so many investigations for her autoimmune stuff and it’s debilitating. Every symptom she has, they put it down to mental health or chronic fatigue syndrome. She’s even spent £300 on a private appointment with a neuro. He referred her for bloods, MRI spine and MRI of the brain. Sadly no more information was found although MS was ruled out because there were no brain or spinal lesions. She’s 31 and doesn’t leave the house much due to pain and mobility issues despite being very slim. I’m so happy you managed to get diagnosed and get treatment that’s working for you ❤

Cheers to you for keeping on those doctors!! My father was diagnosed when he was 45. He is now 89 and was able to stay out of a wheelchair until he was 80. He followed a special diet (fish, chicken, low fat, and took cod liver oil supplements). He has lived a very healthy life until his age caught up with him in the last few years. I sure know what you mean about doctors not listening though! I had slipped discs in my neck--suffered with tingling in my finger tips for 6 years and thought I had MS. My Chiropractor figured it out. I had the surgery to repair the slipped discs and got the feeling back in my left hand and most of my right hand. Life is unpredictable! Good luck and thanks for the great video!

Age 24, buzzing sensation in feet, internal tremor from hip to sole, blurred vision (for seconds) in right eye, itching all over body. I feel like i walk on bubble wrap, may be because of neuropathy. I read about your father being fighting quite impressively with MS. This made my anxiety disappear, you got to believe me on this 😅. Still i have a question, how is your father's vision?

On and off, I’ve been dizzy, lately terrible balance that can’t just be weak hip flexors and ankles, blurry vision, over my lifetime, autonomic nervous system changes, migraines, more blurry vision, odd peopioception and tripping often. Sometimes even breathing issues that aren’t asthma. Twitches in feet. And in general, sleeping issues, persistent urination and extreme lethargy. Either depression or something else, but ADd meds and coffee don’t even help anymore…. I totally get the pins and needles, but only after sitting.

Thanks for this. I am 61 years old and have been having symptoms since a bout of measles when I was 25. Only one doctor joined the dots and sent me for an MRI when I was 53. Unfortunately I had a major panic attack and the MRI didn’t happen. Then I had to move due to domestic abuse. Now all these years later I am still battling to get a doctor to take my concerns seriously. In December 2021 I had an episode where my right leg decided not to walk anymore and I was hospitalised. An MRI on the spine showed nothing contributing to that problem. I went to see my doctor who has referred me to a neurologist as I told him I was worried it could be MS.

I definitely agree with your advice that you should write down all of your symptoms and bring the list to the consultation. And get those pathology diagrams and draw all the parts of your body where you're feeling tingles, pains, or numbness. If you show it to them it will be quicker than explaining everything. Very often GPs or specialists will want to rush you out of the room before you've finished explaining, because they treat you like you're 'whinging' or won't shut up about all the stuff that you are feeling. So they'll miss connecting the dots and delay diagnosis. Writing it down will also help you keep a record of progress and potential triggers, such as exercise, heat, cold, etc.

I’m catching this one year later- I too had a long hard discovery journey. I fired 2 neurologist for pure stupidity- shame on them for not referring you to the MS Society for better up-to-date info. Bravo for sharing- my MS is now 21 years since diagnosis. After one year of Drs. and prescription drugs I found an alternative healing with raw foods, exercise and acupuncture- do your own research and find a support group as every MS case is personal. ♥️

My mom started having symptoms in her mid thirties, her equibrim and numbness and she went blind in one eye temporarily. She never drank alcohol but had trouble with balance. She had the worst case scenario, she lost weight to 90 pounds at 5 foot 6 inches tall and she passed away really young. The numbness in her legs was extreme and physical therapy was one of the last things we tried. Sending positive thoughts and I’m glad that there’s a lot more advancements in modern medicine. Hope you’re doing the best and thank you for this video. 🙏 my mom I miss her, she was basically paralyzed waist down and couldn’t walk, the depression was so bad before she passed.

This video makes me feel less isolated about everything. I tend to ignore alot of smaller things that go on mainly because they feel normal to me. I first got an mri done because i had optic neuritus and they done the scans as a precaution only. They found lessions in my brain and had lumber puncture which tested positive for ms markers. They dont want to give me full diagnossis and treatment as they say its not progressed. But i feel it coming and going in sometimes diffrent ways and i know its this so i feel pretty alone with it all. Im havung a bit of a bad day of it today so looked on youtube for what others have experianced . It all concerns me as i work a pretty physical job in construction and dreading that day i cant do it any more 😪. Thanks for the video its good to see others experiances and know im not alone

Thank you for the upload and sharing. I got diagnosed with ms in 2012. My first symptones was quiet a bit. It started with having vertigo symptones..went to the doctor and got told that i had crystals in one ear. But it became worse, then the right side of my mouth started to hang from time to time and had troubles to talk. It was horrible because people looked at me weird and didnt know on whats going on. Then i couldnt move my right leg. I got send directly to a neurologist and then i got diagnosed with ms relapsing remitting. And i do have it too when i look down...it feels that my head weights heavy then. And yes i still struggle with balance problems but it got improved by actually doing weight training. I can talk and walk normal again. Hearing you talking about it really makes me emotional. Stay strong 💕 youre a ms warrior queen. Lots of love towards you and your family

I’m 66 and had symptoms on and off since I was around 30. No answers always blame it on something else or they try and google! Two episodes lasting 30 mins each time where I couldn’t put a sentence together led me to an MRI. Lesions demyelination indicate maybe MS with a follow up recommended in 6 months. My GP says he doubts that I would have MS.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was just diagnosed with MS this year to noticing the numbing in my right hand. The year before I was also diagnosed with a pituitary tumor after dealing with migraines for 13 years. I know I should of went sooner but after last year I had enough because they were getting worse. Seems like I was having symptoms long before and didn’t know because I had trigeminal neuralgia, which is nerve pain in the face. I also had visual disturbances in my left eye. Light would seem brighter than the other eye.

I was in the bathroom beveling over the sink with a warm compress after every time I ate anything. The light flare part of that would happen then too. I too had the hair sensitivity but not too bad. The told me I probably never noticed the tingling in my hand until I asked to cut back on the Gabapentin doses. Thank you for sending your love, means a lot! I am doing better, just mostly tired a lot. I hope your doing well yourself. Sending you my love as well. 🤗

Ooh, girl! Low back pain is awful. I have many of these symptoms but after paying so much money with no answers and insurance rejecting all of the tests doctors want, and I feel better... I'll just have to stay focused on hydration, spinal alignment, anti inflammation diet/ lifestyle I'll have to crack on with life. I had a brain MRI and was told I have a beautiful brain. They only did an mri in my low back and neck, no lesions. They couldn't tell me what caused me to lose vision completely in my left eye for about 45 minutes. They said I have chronic migraines. The guessed that the reason I couldn't walk or stand was due to a Herniated disc. They were quick to suggest back surgery but after I scolded that idea, they sent in another doctor that retracted the suggestion because I was young. She already knew I wouldn't go through with the surgery (too many I've met have had more issues within 5 years of back surgery than before they had the surgery).
