That was a one time thing. Do you have MS? If you do or someone you know has it please read the post and link to Dr Wheldon antibiotic protocol. The antibiotics are in a phase 3 trial with Red Hill biopharmaceutical of Israel. Red Hill bought the formula from another company who bought from Dr Wheldon I believe.

I've been going through so many doctors and what I refer to as "ists" for specialist as there's too many I've seen to list. I'm hopeful my next new doctor another neurologist will be able to help diagnose me. It's horrible that women are treated as if it were the 1800's still for years. It's not only the male doctors either. For goodness sakes!! I'm so glad some of us can find help online, either social networking, reading, but not too much, lots of misinformation out there, and just learn ourselves and about ourselves when things just aren't right with us. Women's intuition is the best sign, somethings wrong. I'm definitely going with mine from now on. So thankful for people like Selma Blair to allow herself to be her true self and message with the rest of us so humbly. Bravo!!

I am not a doctor, but have followed discussions about another person's MS diagnosis. I understand it as you have stated, but also she may have suffered without medications before. A flare up is another expression for intermittent and when a flare up subsides, that is a remission and then that expression of symptoms may alleviate, but you aren't cured. Relapsing at some point is expected.(Steroids are used as anti-inflammatory meds for MS, but have side effects to contend with that compromise people in other ways and the interview didn't mention medication.)

I was told everything from I was "too young" to be having so many issues and be in so much pain, and all I needed was a "clean green diet", to "It's all in your head, you should see a psychiatrist." Pain disorders and other invisible illnesses are the most dismissed in the healthcare spere. And something needs to be done about it.

It’s such a blessing for Selma Blair to reveal her diagnosis, especially for those of us with MS. So many patients looking for answers as to why balance is gone, or their legs won’t work, are humiliated by doctors not willing to take the time to listen. We just want to live meaningful lives, make a difference in the world, and care for our families. I have secondary progressive MS, so it’s a given I’m slowly becoming able to do less for myself. I pray there is a day when no one else develops MS, or experiences its madness. What a party that will be!

@stevenn84493 жыл бұрын
She said it herself, it's a condition that manifests in so many different ways that it's a difficult diagnosis to make. I believe she felt as though she was not taken seriously and that may well be the case, but it may also be that a physician has to rule out other more common diagnoses first. A patient doesn't just show up and get diagnosed with MS right away, it doesn't work like that. Lots of conditions can cause similar symptoms and must be ruled out first because they are more likely or happen more commonly. On top of that, MS is a disease where the symptoms come and go so it's difficult to correlate what a patient reports are the symptoms vs what can be observed by a physician during an exam. Narrowing down the differential, especially in a neurologic condition, is a tedious process. I wouldn't jump right out and blame doctors for being unsympathetic.
@stevenn84493 жыл бұрын
@@Abstract852 Even celebrities still generally pay for their medical visits with insurance. Insurance companies have to approve an exam before the they will pay for it, especially one as expensive as an MRI. The doctor has to show specific indications for why the test should be done and also show that other treatment options have failed to give the patient relief. If a person wants to pay for the test out of pocket then that's one thing, but there are a lot of hoops to jump through when dealing with insurance companies (this includes not only private insurance, but also government-sponsored medical programs as well). It sucks that doctors get blamed for all the crap that insurance companies make them do.

Now we know behind that gorgeous image is an amazing, strong, compassionate and kind woman who will persevere and raise awareness about MS and how hard it is to find someone to just listen to what you're going through, help you get the care and treatment you need to live a real life.

I went through horrible examinations, tests and finical stress. A week later I was in surgery with tumours in my left arm and left breast to remove the tumours.

Again its hard to be a doctor ever day you see people with the same symptoms and they automatically self diagnose themselves with what they see online doctors look for their causes ask for multiple exam (that are costly) and at the end they dont find anything. There are lots of people who actually do that, not to say that a lot of diseases dont present typical symptoms, sometimes they manifest in different ways making it hard to know its diseases A instead of disease B. Again with this im saying doctors are not perfect they are humans just like you they makr mistakes they are not robots its easy to criticize here but imagine yourself being a doctor and knowing 10000 diseases/conditions that manifest the same way and only in later phase they are easy to detect? Again its not an excuse for doctors to make a bad practice, bcz its true some doctors are might be bad but still thats why 2nd, 3rd 4th doctor opinions still exists. Again not an excuse but before judging people (which is easy specially out of frustration) think that nobody is a robot specially when working in a lot of pressure and many hours like doctors do.

Demyelination around the corpus callosum. Next time I see them is for their MS follow up. From experience most docs don't know how to order an MR.

@@daminasanders3027 Generally you won't be getting an MR in a hospital unless it's an emergency situation. You would be sent to an out patient imaging center. Now if you are in a hospital you are going to be getting an MR that is fast using bare minimum protocols and parameters. Out patient facilities are usually much more thorough that is why it takes longer for the scan. If you are in a hospital there will be a medical director in charge. However, it is doubtful that they will go over the treating doctor unless you can show total negligence. More than likely you will be dealing with your general practitioner. Your best bet is to tell them your concerns and ask for a scan to ease your mind. Or ask to see a neurologist. Unfortunately you may have to go through some other testing before your insurance will approve an MRI. Now remember if your Dr says they don't want you to get the MR because of radiation concerns you may want to look into getting a new Practitioner. I've heard this so many times and I am going to tell you for a fact MRI USES NO HARMFUL IONIZING RADIATION. Once again in a different way MRI DOES NOT USE ANY HARMFUL RADIATION. Unfortunately I have heard this before and I believe that a Dr should know the difference between an MRI, a CT, and an X-ray but I've come to realize that's not the case. Also if they are not sure about contrast injection do your own research. Again Dr's don't seem to know the risk difference between MR contrast and CT contrast and they are 1000% different. Good luck!

Anyone with symptoms should look into heavy metals being an underlying issue, as MS and other autoimmune diseases and some other chronic health issues is often caused by mercury toxicity. And therefor you can only manage symptoms until you get rid of the mercury. I would really recommend anyone struggling look into the Andrew Cutler Protocol. This is the ONLY safe protocol to this date, eating things like chlorella and cilantro has made people very very sick. Please read the child recovering stories by googling «cutler success stories child» and «cutler success stories adult», nr.11, Linda, recovered from her MS diagnosis. But the best place to learn and get support is trough the Facebook group «Andy Cutler Chelation: Safe Mercury and Heavy Metal Detox». But whatever you do, never take/eat cilantro, chlorella, MSM, glutathione, and ALA/DMPS/DMSA that is not according to the Andrew Cutler Protocol, you can read some peoples horror stories by googling «Andy Cutler what not to do». Wish you all the best!

It took me over a year to get a doctor to understand me and diagnose me with Primary Progressive MS. The lesions were there. The markers in my cerebral spinal fluid were there. But I thought I was experiencing a personal failure. I understand her so well. She understands me. I love her for putting this in the public life.

I am 24 years old and was just diagnosed with MS December 2019. This woman is so strong and I hope to be as strong as her. I try to not overthink my future but it's always in the back of my mind. To anyone else who has this disease... we are warriors. "I have MS but MS does not have me" God bless you all

Thanks for this comment Lauren. I was also diagnosed recently about 2 months go. I am 28 years old and live in Australia. I think it is quite positive that both you and I were diagnosed at such a young age and can get on top of things. I have 4-5 lesions on my brain and none on my spine. I am a professional guitarist which really scared me. I am just worried that some day, I won't be able to play any more. My neurologist told me that I should be able to live a normal life and play my music and do everything else I want to do as long as I undergo therapy. I wish you all the best and I am sure you will be able to live a normal life as well. If you want to chat about it at all please feel free to email me at j_emerson123@hotmail.com. I am interested in meeting other young people with MS because we are all going through it together and I think we could help each other. Kind regards.

I am very grateful we both were diagnosed at an early age, I read/hear people's stories of having symptoms of MS for 10-20 years and finally getting diagnosed with it 20 years later. At least we can take care of ourselves and know to listen to our bodies moving forward.

@@shinesobrightforever4863 it crazy it was 7 months ago now looking at this. It really helped that I knew it was MS from the beginning, I mentioned it to my GP on the first appointment I had during my relapse. I brought that up because my half brother has MS. What mostly convinced me was coming across Lhermitte’s sign, a symptom I mentioned to my mum without actually knowing it was a specific thing. I took it well and I still am. I’m just naturally possibly naively, someone who has a positive outlook on everything. I’ve been saying from the beginning that science and research can only get better.

I wish I had been her doctor. I am tired of hearing that docs don’t take people seriously. My approach is to always do an EXTENSIVE physical exam (which does not happen these days), then I rule out the most serious illnesses before ending up blaming hormones, anxiety, stress, or other wastebasket diagnoses. There has to be a way that the patient can have an informed plan to spot incompetence in the doctor’s office--something like a checklist. Maybe I’ll make one.

I feel dizzy and foggy most of the time. I feel like my symptoms overwhelm the docs I have seen and they just send me to a pain management doc who wants to prescribe opioids. I have been trying to find help bc I am in constant pain and depressed bc I realize I still need this body to live the rest of my life. Selma envouraged me and indpired me in this video to be optimistic even tho it has been more than 12 years of not knowing what is wrong with my body.

YOU INSPIRE ME! Thank you for representing us disabled single Moms! You made me feel not as alone. No one believed me at first. It's been 11 years now. Last year, I was finally told that I have Spinal Bifida atop of everything else. I am going paralyzed from the waist down but I am still walking. People ask my son if I am drunk because I am fighting my body to walk. I don't drink and I'm not in a wheelchair. This is the first time that I feel brave enough to put it out there. People who I went to school with don't know. Only a few do because I was embarrassed. I would gladly stand next to you and fight our diseases. It would be an honor to make you. I always liked you as an actress but now, I feel like I get to see the person.

Shame she didn't go to a GP I saw about a leg pain a few years ago. He told me he suspected I had multiple sclerosis, when the only symptom I had was a sharp, electric pains in the lower part of one leg. I had to get him to run down a list of multiple sclerosis symptoms and then point out that since I only had one of the symptoms on the entire list it was very unlikely that my leg pain was caused by multiple sclerosis. Most GPs are pretty smart, but Dr House they are not.
