This Lady has reached another level, as a MS patient I understand where she comes from, that ripple effect is what heals the big wounds inside. Be Well Lady
Wow, I have MS and I’m really inspired by your story. God bless you.🙏🏼
I was diagnosed in January 2021. I have a permanent paresthesia, and it's hard to distinguish if symptoms are from aging or MS...
But part of me is very thankful for my diagnosis. Not that I love having MS, but i love how it has changed my perspective. I am no longer putting things off for "later". I'm living life now, while i am not debilitated. I know i may never be debilitated, but the possibility is always there. And I never want to look back and regret *not* doing something.
only paresthesia?
OMG YES!!! This has gone on unexplained for years!!! No one will connect the dots!
I certainly hope you found yourself a new neurologist! (MS patient of over forty years - still walking...and positive!)
Wow cheryl that is amazing. I have this wonderful disease for 20 yrs just started using a cane.
I’m amazed by all the misinformation out there about MS. It causes misdiagnosis, it causes Dr’s to go running down one rabbit trail after another.
I was going to say that the majority of people with MS don’t usually end up in a wheelchair. Also, with advancements in treatment that means even fewer MS patients will end up in a wheelchair as increasingly MS patients are able to have the progression of their MS delayed. MS is more often then not an invisible disease because you can see people walking around like this lady all the time and she looks fine, she looks healthy and yet there she is. Most MS lesions are in the brain which doesn’t impact how one walks unless lesions are found near and around or on the cerebellum and the spinal cord.
So ChryleMoir - I encourage you, before making any further comments regarding MS maybe read up on it because there’s been significant advancements over the last 15 years and the understanding within the medical field have also increased significantly since the 90’s when there was actually no real treatment for MS and where people probably didn’t get diagnosed until there was significant disability found. Like back in the 90’s Dr’s didn’t listen to patients and so refused to believe that patients with MS felt pain. The list of MS pain causing ailments keep growing. You don’t often feel that pain. The itching this lady is describing is neurological. No amount of scratching is gonna help. Anyways… read up on MS. You’d be surprised.
Ms doesn’t not define me, don’t let it take over your life
I understand this difficulty. It definitely aches indeed.
WHY DOESN'T THE MS SOCIETY SUPPORT OUR ONLY OPTION FOR REMISSION??? DR.RICHARD BURT THE PIONEER OF HSCT, HIS FIRST BOOK "EVERYDAY MIRACLES" IS A MUST READ.
we're in this eco system of specialist you destroy MS you destroy the entire health system network pertaining to MS.
mylin sheath coating is the same under layer of your organs lungs including brain COVID is the disease ROI is MS.
Is this Ted talk about MS or kindness???
I'm tripping out about the fork because I have MS and eczema. And i swear sometimes it feels like bugs crawling under my skin 😩
