    My daughter had been diagnosed with autoimmune multiple sclerosis. She's been hospitalised for the 2nd time and today She had seizures and was taken to the ICU. They did MRI and
    ICU doctor said they found a blood clot on one of the vessels in the brain so now they going to do a CT scan to zoom to the exact place and start my girl on blood thinning medication. I am going through so much and can't stop my tears and I have been praying for her. I love my daughter very much!

    Thank you for sharing your story. My mother had MS. She had three daughters, my two older sisters and myself. Each time when she was pregnant she felt amazing but after she gave birth she would have a relapse. I wish that doctors could figure out exactly what it is that makes women with MS feel good during pregnancy, bottle it up, and use it as a treatment.

      @KirstynDiane  5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yes! I felt great during my pregnancy it's just after the birth..it is the hardest part. My neurologist said they are working to make a treatment to trick the body to thinking it is carrying a child. All of this is so interesting to me. Do you or any of your sisters have MS or any other autoimmune disease? Thanks for leaving a comment babe!

      I'm in a similar situation myself. Although I'm exhibiting most of the symptoms of ms, my doctor just did a physical examination, and concluded that I was fine. Yet, I'm aware that there are a number of tests needed in order to arrive at such conclusions. I have had involuntary ticks, which had travelled from my leg, to my arm, and lastly to my head. I ask one of my Gp what I needed to do about this. He simply said, 'you just anxious.. try not to think about it and the tick will go away on it's own'. And I was like, what if it doesn't? And what if it goes and comes back again? Will have have to go through a circle of simply ignoring it? I was thinking, what about finding what's actually going on with me? Anyways, I left the surgery if more questions, than I had when I went in. So I documented all my symptoms, and booked a telephonic consultation with my allocated Gp. Funny enough, I spoke with her this morning. She confirmed with me that all my blood tests came back normal (with the exception of my vitamin d level, which had always shown to be low, hence she prescribed more supplements for me to take - baring in my that I'm already taking the highest dose of this already). My Gp was like, there's nothing to worry about. I was like, I'm still struggling to stay on my feet longer than 10 minutes. Not sure what to do. Is there not any other tests that can be done, cause I'm clearly not feeling well, and don't have the luxury of staying home any longer (as I live by myself, and will have to go back to work at some point). She was like, 'what do you want me to do'? I was like perhaps have MRI done? Or seeing a neorologist? She was like 'if you insist', but you've had a look by the doctor and you seem fine. I kept saying to her that, I'm not doing alright though. I've been mostly in bed for 2 weeks (after managing to get a sick note from the surgery), yet I'm still in the same state as I was two weeks before. Nothing much have changed, I said. And the pain keep travelling from one part of the body to another. She was like, do you want to have this done privately? I was like, hmm, I wouldn't be able to afford that. And she was like, I'll refer you to a neurologist (if you insist), but it's gonna take long before they see you. I was speechless hearing her say that, and was like, what other option do I have? Cause I'm still not feeling great. And she was like, 'are you sure it's not your depression'? I was quite offended by that question, cause that made me feel like, 1) I wasn't being listened to and 2) that she viewed me as someone who might have no clue of what they on about (due to their mental health). I responded 'no... I don't have any of the feelings I have when i' m in a depressive mood... I'm mostly in a lot of pain (physically)'. So she went on emphasising that she going to ,' refer [me] to a neurologist' (if I insist): although she couldn't offer me any alternative or a plausible explanation as to what's going on with me. So yeah, you just have to fight to find answers yourself, cause you know your body best. Most gps are just there to prescribe you the medication needed, and that's it. Some don't have a clue of what they doing, and others have no time '' to waste" on finding out the underlying cause of your symptoms.
      Good luck in finding the answers and right diagnosis 😊

I finally found a doctor I like at the clinic I go to, she did some blood tests that haven’t been done yet and referred me to a rheumatologist. After further research I see now I need a MRI or to go straight to a neurologist. Of course she’s a traveling provider so she goes all over to different establishments. My symptoms keep becoming more severe and different ones keep popping up frequently. It’s really frustrating.

      Researchers discovered a strong correlation between bacteria and MS (Multiple Sclerosis). They found that those who have MS have very little Bacillus bacteria as opposed to the general population. My intuition led me to this theory and it was confirmed by these researchers. Researchers in general are discovering more about the microbiome and how important it is for mood, and even personality (risk averse vs. reckless behavior) etc. Type "Spore forming bacteria in Multiple Sclerosis" in youtube to see for yourself. So what makes sense to me is to take natural supplements that are proven to be powerful killers of harmful bacteria, this is: (Monolaurin, olive leaf extract and drinking a glass of parsley). Then take a probiotic that is full of beneficial bacillus bacteria, like Youtheory or JustThrive probiotic. If you know someone who has MS please tell them about this and have them try it to see if it improves symptoms or makes them completely better. Take either 1 or all of the bacteria killers: Monolaurin (from coconuts) at the vitamin store/amazon, olive leaf extract. or take about 15 stalks of organic parsley and blend in a little water with lemon to taste, then later in the day take Youtheory or Justthrive probiotic and please report back, I'd love to hear if this works or not in somebody with diagnosed MS.

Last week I was diagnosed with tarsal tunnel syndrome however I'm 90% convinced I have MS. I'm telling my pcm all of my symptoms that I've experienced for at least 10 years off and on. Numb big toes, pins and needles in arms, hands, legs, feet etc...Recently frequent urination, peeing minimum 3 times at night, trouble swallowing off and on for 9 years, feeling like something is stuck between my toes, feeling like water drops down my legs, confusion, memory, facial pain, blurry vision, lightheaded, clumsy, spasms in lower back and legs, taste changes like everything is bland, weak, lost a lot of muscle after radical hysterectomy 18 months ago, no desire for intimacy, feeling like I'm being squeezed tight around my mid section, severe itching to where I cause scabs, move slower and tons more. I'm hoping to get a brain mri soon. I'm in a lot of pain every day. Im a 7 out of 10 most days with it being an 8 or 9 occasionally. It was only about 2 weeks ago that I thought it could be MS.

      Robin, you have the classic symptoms of a severely low B12. You need a methylmalonic acid test, which will show if your B12 tissue level is low. A normal serum B12 test won't show this. You can google B12 deficiency symptoms and see that frequent urination, numbness, pins and needles, etc are all signs of this deficiency. Good luck and God Bless.

    I am past the RRMS but this progressive form I have now, even thoug there is something always bothering me, its easier to deal than the sudden RRMS relapses.

    Poor Girl. This is a horror story. With my MS diagnosis(PPMS) I had to engage professionals outside the mainstream medical profession to engage a process that is sustainable. Completely changed my diet to manage inflammation. I went from thinking I was dying to making great progress. No steroids. Daily workouts and stretching. All this takes time everyday but worth it. My daily problems are poor sleep patterns, bladder problems and making sure I don’t over do it. My neurologist told me he only needs to see me if I have new symptoms that are not familiar. God bless. I hope your continued journey is better.

    Hey, I had MS since i was 7 years old. The worst experience of my life but luckily the doctors found out that i didnt have MS but something else (i don't know what it is). I had buzzing in the ear, my muscles were weak, short term memory loss, i couldn't speak, numbness, i would take medication once a week. I don't really remember my childhood due to my short term memory loss but I had "MS" for 11 years but thank GOD i am healthy. You will survive this, i promise you!

It could be just a pinched nerve, but lately I’ve been experiencing trouble walking, loss of balance, legs in voluntarily crossing while walking (I think that is called a scissor gait), painful stiff neck, pain in arms and hands, associated with trouble with fine motor coordination. My biggest concern is MS… Although I’m trying to be optimistic that it’s not. Hang in there.

  • @ehmelynn

    PLEASE have your doctors/neurologists test you for NMO - neuromyelitis optica.... it is often misdiagnosed as MS and you had a couple of the typical symptoms of NMO which is the hiccups and the vomitting. Since you had multiple negative lumbar punctures for MS getting the blood work done for NMO could get a diagnosis. Early diagnosis is key because there are 2 different treatment paths for MS and NMO and being treated for the wrong one could actually do more damage. I am also in the process of being tested for NMO after being diagnosed with MS last August. I have yet to have a lumbar puncture but will be having that soon. Keep us up to date on your journey!

    • @ehmelynn
      @ehmelynn 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the MS diagnosis came from 5 MRI's showing lesions in my brain and cervical spine. I initially went to the hospital with numbness from my ribcage down, and severe vertigo that just wouldn't go away..it was so bad that any time I moved I would vomit. They did a CT scan and blood work and pumped me full of IV steroids and then sent me on my way (still experiencing vertigo and still vomiting and still numb) and had me take a high dose of prednisone for the next 2 weeks. Finally on the fourth day the vertigo and vomiting stopped. I made an appointment with my doctor and she sent me immediately to a neurologist in a larger city near me and I went through all the neurological testing etc and told I had MS and was sent to a MS neurologist a couple months later. This new neurologist seems to think I could have NMO and so now I am in limbo. My blood work is being sent to England because apparently they have better equipment to pick up NMO even after a negative IgG or MOG test. I have had 2 bad epidurals and have nerve damage in my lumbar spine so my doctor is trying to save me from having a lumbar puncture unless its absolutely necessary.

    I’ve been having symptoms of MS for 22 yrs now and I’m finally getting a brain scan in 4 days. The worst pain I’ve felt from my symptoms are the electric shock or zaps that I’ve had right up through my “Vagina” it shoots straight up from outer part of the vagina through my abdomen; the pain if asked between a 1-10 it was a million in my eyes. Excruciating pain. Then I experienced it in my mouth the electrical zap in my front teeth it felt like it came from the back of my skull through my mouth out my front top teeth….. excruciating pain that I dread to happen again. And the other symptom I’ve had on two occasions that is excruciatingly painful is burning it literally feels like someone took gasoline and lite a match on my skin and is going up in flames, my skin turns beat Red for about 10 min I’m incapable of moving any extremity when it happens and I can’t speak or cry out. the redness of my skin color goes back to original skin color slowly after 15 to 30 min. These symptoms are Definitely a feeling of torture for me and I have a very very high pain tolerance I had root canals done with no lidocaine so when I say it’s excruciating believe me there is no pain level to describe it. Its a very bazar experience when it happens it doesn’t seem realistic that it’s happening ti me. Does anyone else experience this? I have many other symptoms but these are the ones that I’m terrified of feeling again and again😢.

      We find the causes of multiple sclerosis using our comprehensive diagnostics. Very often, we find viral parasites in the brain stem that cause inflammation of the nervous tissue, which ultimately leads to multiple sclerosis. In addition, we find organ causes of reduced immunity, which allows infections to be introduced into the brain. After the diagnostics, we treat patients without medication on our equipment using methods of vegetative-resonance, magnetic, laser, light-color, needle -therapy. This allows us to destroy the infection, restore immunity and promote the regeneration of nervous tissue. The results are very good at the initial stage of the disease, but if a person does not already walk, then we cannot help them.

      You are not alone girl!!! I know exactly how you feel. Ive recently been really trying to turn my thinking around and turning a negative to a positive. So instead of me saying "I hate to bother other people to help me" I say "I am blessed I can ask for help" this has changed a lot for me in terms of my mental state.

    I just saw an MS neuro yesterday to rule out MS. I had an MRI done in June that showed lesions in my frontal lobe. The neurologist this ordered it seemed to think it wasn’t something to worry about and this is why I don’t trust traditional doctors because to me, that isn’t normal. So the doc yesterday said it’s due to regular aging. I told him ok, but I’m also having neuropathy, frequent urination, depression, anxiety, memory loss, was just diagnosed with POTS and Dysautonomia, a ton of muskuloskeletal disorders, and really bad neck and upper back pain. I also have a diminished sense of smell, ringing in my ears and sometimes sounds like waves, severe sensitivity to sound. He said he wants me to get an MRI of my spine. I don’t even know what to think anymore. Any suggestions?

Gout, all tick diseases, Lupus.I have old mris showing 2 lesions, I could go on n on! Now I’m waiting a month for a neuro appt. already need dad with fibromyalgia, Raynauds n Sjorgrens n chronic Epstein-Barr I mean come on. This is horrible! I totally understand how you feel.

    Hello Kirstyn- I hope you are well. Did you have weight loss or lymphadenopathy with your symptoms? I have not been well for about a year. I have so many symptoms that seem to be "global" that affect so many different parts of my body. I have lost 30 lbs. but eating normally. I have urgency to urinate, it comes on suddenly and I have to literally run to the bathroom. If I yell or sneeze or cough, I leak. I have a weird crawling sensation under my right shoulder blade that comes & goes. My eye was twitching so hard and uncontrollably one day, it went on for about 10 min and was severe twitching not a slight twitching. I also have twitching in other parts of my body, behind my knee & even in my back. My arms & legs go numb every single night, several times a night. I have to shake them very hard for quite a while to wake them up. One night my entire left leg went numb from hip to toes and it was so heavy and numb it woke me up. I stood up and fell but managed to get it awake. A few hours later my arm felt so heavy and numb. I thought I was having a stroke, so went to ER. They did catscan and said it wasnt a stroke but to see a neurologist, it could possibly be MS or some kind of neuropathy. I also have this weird shocking feeling when I scratched the top of my left foot. Every single time, I run my fingers down my foot it feels like static cling almost. I explain some of these symptoms and the doctors look at me like I am crazy or making it up. I actually was told "it was in my head." I promise to get an attorney once I get a diagnosis because I know something is wrong and its been non stop doctor appts since May of this year, PCP, ENT, Surgeons, Ob-gyn.even Hematologist-Oncologist with a million test and nobody can figure me out. Oh and the bone pain! Especially in my hips and legs, I cant believe I forgot that. That and the fatigue is debilitating. My neck has discomfort, my food and coffee taste weird, sometimes my food or drink get stuck when I swallow, hear my hearbeat in my right ear off & on, if not that my ears are ringing, some sort of inflammation on my left chest right at the first rib they say its not a tumor, one dr said costochondritis, one dr said inflammation from lymph nodes in that part of my chest. I can feel my lymph nodes in my groin, neck, and behind my ear, also under my arm. Ultrasound says they are "normal" but none of this is normal. Soooo many things wrong with me and no Dr has diagnosed me yet!! They keep saying my tests are normal. I am a working mom of 5 and I am so tired of not feeling well. Yes, I wrote a book I am sorry, but I am hoping anyone can comment to lead me in the right direction or share their experiences if they are similar. I am frustrated and seem to get more answers from regular people on YT then at my actual appointments:( praying for all who are unwell🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽

    I don't know if anyone will read this, but im so desperate, i have to tell my story.. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and i really feel like they should test me for ms.. They have never done that. Lupus has been tested, everything has been tested, but not MS. I get new symptoms all the time.. Most prominent symptom is pain, spesifically backpain, today morning it felt like someone had taken a demolition hammer and demolished my whole back. Another very difficult and prominent symptom is exhaustion, i went to sleep at 11pm, woke up at 3pm... It doesn't matter how long / short my night sleep is, im always tired. Every day i get frustrated because i can't find the word that im trying to say. Now as a new symptom i get food in my windpipe all the time when i try to eat... I have 200 other symptoms aswell but yeah, ain't nobody got time to read (or for me, to write) all that ish down.

I gave up because I believed she was right and I was being dramatic. Someone reached out to me recently about MS. I am 99% certain I have it. I have all the symptoms to a T. I have been searching for answers for years and have had the mindset “ I can’t wait until I can get meds to help all this “ and now I am pretty heart broken. My new doctors are fairly certain with it aswell but I will get tested after this covid crap.

      Researchers discovered a strong correlation between bacteria and MS (Multiple Sclerosis). They found that those who have MS have very little Bacillus bacteria as opposed to the general population. My intuition led me to this theory and it was confirmed by these researchers. Researchers in general are discovering more about the microbiome and how important it is for mood, and even personality (risk averse vs. reckless behavior) etc. Type "Spore forming bacteria in Multiple Sclerosis" in youtube to see for yourself. So what makes sense to me is to take natural supplements that are proven to be powerful killers of harmful bacteria, this is: (Monolaurin, olive leaf extract and drinking a glass of parsley). Then take a probiotic that is full of beneficial bacillus bacteria, like Youtheory or JustThrive probiotic. If you know someone who has MS please tell them about this and have them try it to see if it improves symptoms or makes them completely better. Take either 1 or all of the bacteria killers: Monolaurin (from coconuts) at the vitamin store/amazon, olive leaf extract. or take about 15 stalks of organic parsley and blend in a little water with lemon to taste, then later in the day take Youtheory or Justthrive probiotic and please report back, I'd love to hear if this works or not in somebody with diagnosed MS.
