Hi there! In this video, I will share the first symptoms of multiple sclerosis. From this video, you will know 5 early signs of multiple sclerosis that I faced when I was living with ms at a young age. Are you going through weird symptoms that you don't understand? Is the doctor sending you home without getting an explanation? Do you feel frustrated, misunderstood, and lost? So, watch this video till the end and know more about multiple sclerosis (MS). Here are the first signs I experienced that I didn't understand and I didn't insist to get properly tested:
▸ Fatigue
▸ Tingling
▸ A dark spot in my vision
▸ Speech problems
▸ Walking difficulties
See if you can relate to any of these symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis and, if you do, have the confidence to ask your doctor for further testing.

So thankful for people like you. And you are forthcoming and to take the time to come here and explain this to help others surely shows the character that you have. So intelligent and caring. It was hard for you to have to go through so much to find answers to what you have and the MS should have been noted by the medical field, but it is true it is often dismissed and not looked at as a whole and just taken by each dr piece by piece then lose the whole picture this way. Like a puzzle they need all the pieces to diagnose. So, when all of these various things happening including sort of a dizzy feeling and off balance, plus maybe throat problems and just so many various things as no control of face movements and it is upsetting by neurologist should know about it. MS is hard to diagnose and they cannot always just find it in blood and if they cannot find it this way, they often just jump to conclusions that nothing is wrong. But one must not ever give up when they really know it is not normal what is doing on for them anyway. It may take time, but they will finally send you to the proper physician and you will be able to be diagnosed in the proper way.
Am so glad you now are getting help and are doing okay and sharing with others as you know we all can have problems and we just may let them go and think maybe it is just that we think we have problems? We do not take it serious as the Dr's may send us home ignoring it all until it get too bad.
You are a very special person, and it is nice you are able to come forward to help so many. try to be sure they are finally sure they either get diagnosed or have answers for what is going on with them in some way.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Carol 🥰 there really is a need for patients themselves to be more aware that this condition exists so they raise their fears with their doctors 🙏🏻🧡
@@LifeofSebMS Very true! 😇🙏🥰
If you’re waking me up every early morning- you deserve the tea bags !!!
@@lisamoroney3036 What? lol Are we speaking about Tea Bags or waking up early?( That can be very hard for many)! St the right time of day Tea may be a pleasure, if one likes it.
Who's here since they found out that the COVID 19 jibby jabby causes MS?
My wife became symptomatic at age 37 ...she was finally diagnosed with MS at age 39 . She has the slow progressive type for which there is no treatment. She gradually became quadriplegic except for some use of the left hand. I have been her 24/7 caregiver as she requires a catheter and toileting for the past 20 years. She now has decubitus ulcers on her buttocks and I can no longer care for her at home. She has been in an Hospice house for the past 2 months. She is now 82 and I am 83...it has been a long haul. Unfortunately we still do not have any good remedies for progressive neurological diseases .Although she has lived a long life...her quality of life has been very poor ...I still will miss her terribly.
I’m so sorry to hear that George 😞🧡
I’m sorry for you George.
Prayers of comfort & light to you George! 🙏
George, i wish you peace. What an honorable act of love…
George you guys are the real deal. that is a level of love ad commitment most people cant even dream to understand. My wife has a ostomy due to rectal cancer at age 23 and if yo look in the comments you can read the 4 page essay I wrote about my health. But She is my Rock and vice versa. God bless you George for your share and testimony. I know one thing is for sure... The two of you know the lord and have some real faith. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤
I'm crying after watching this and thinking about my eldest brother. MS took him when he was only 50. He fought for 25 years. I miss him dearly.
So sorry for your loss 😞🧡
@@LifeofSebMS Keep up the fight.
I’m very sorry to hear that. I hope you find solace and healing.
Sorry for your loss too.❤
There was a study done Years Ago by a gentleman that is 17 year old son had come down with MS. He studied the world and found that anywhere that there was more than 4,000 vitamin D a day like near the equator nobody had Ms or diabetes. He put his son on high doses of Vitamin D 5000 units a day and his Ms stayed in remission
Amazing! 🙏🏻🧡
Dangerous to take so much.
@@irisbristow2977 I don’t have a dog in this fight but it’s not actually dangerous. Even 10,000 iu a day isn’t dangerous. The RDA is mostly just enough for people not to get rickets, not to be in optimal health. Best to take with vitamin K2 though so calcium goes to your bones.
People usually over do vitamin D because it takes several weeks or months to show up in your blood work, someone will start at 5000 iu then jump to 10k iu, D is a fat soluble so to avoid saturation of D take it before a meal and with a trace mineral, so it can absorb properly in the blood stream and not throw your liver enzymes out of whack.
@@irisbristow2977 I literally take 30,000 IUs I do blood work and have been doing so for a few years.
I was diagnosed a month ago. I'm 51.
There is a core of sadness that I've been going to the doctor for neurological symptoms since my early, 20s.
Unfortunately, it was put down to mental health and a bad back.
The joys of hindsight.
It’s so sad that it’s often like that 😞🧡
Been dealing with this since 2006-2007. Found lesions on brain. Treated as a mental health patient. Was on so many pills, benzos, opiates...was so overmedicated I almost died. 5x!!! 2019 I came off 3 meds on my own. Docs were no help. Withdrawals almost did me in. My Rheumatologist just throws pills instead of listening. I fired him. Waiting after new year to go to better hospital...been in a flare & just pray I will make it. 60 yrs old. Don't get Healthcare in Az!! They SUCK. 😢
I am sorry about that. My diagnosis was a long journey. Doctors thought I had anxiety only! and maybe a little crazy. Finally, we got the definitive diagnosis and felt relief that there was an explanation for all the crazy symptoms that ms showed us. I wish you the best on this journey
It's not all doom and gloom. Usually we only hear the worst stories and rarely about the people who do well. If you haven't already done so I would advise you to look up George Jelinek - overcomingmultipleslerosis and Trevor Wicken - the MS gym. Good luck.
I'm currently trying to find the cause of my symptoms after years of quietly suffering because when doctors see my health history I'm relegated to a typecast. My latest brain scan was abnormal but when my Dr. consulted neurology they decided that it would be too "difficult to neurology to tease through any neurodegenerative process which is less likely.." I'm told that I don't have inflammation because the blood test for it shows normal ranges. After getting all of theses tests done then going to follow up appointments I find months and years down the road that certain information that should have been given to me was never acknowledged. At this point I feel like why bother. I just don't understand the system and attempts to clarify end up making Dr appear irritated which just compounds things..Any suggestions?
I had my first indication When I was 19and newly married. Lost the vision in my right eye. Went to hospital after a week they said there was nothing wrong with me. I was 52 before I was diagnosed. But I knew that I had MS long before because of episodes like you describe Seb. 86 now and still doing OK. ❤️
Thank you for sharing Jane! Hopefully this brings hope to other patients reading you 🙏🏻🧡
that's amazing and i'm glad you are doing well. not saying this to scare anyone, but i've not in my area heard of anyone living with MS more than 20 years. I am happy for you.
@@LifeofSebMS brings hope to me! My daughter had optic neuritis at age 18, 1 month. THey found a lesion a year later and was diagnosed with MS. She recently turned 21 and seems "fine" but as her mother, i am so afraid for the future. @MatidaJane, you give us hope!!!!
🙏🏻🧡
@@debraindxb hope your daughter does well. The worst part about it for me was that my then husband thought I should take a pill and get on with it while I thought I was going a little crazy. The retro bulgur neuritis was a definite indication but after a week in hospital with a lumbar puncture and umpteen blood tests I was told I had never had retro bulgur neuritis. But I had had it opticians saw that I had years later. Then I had a second neuritis attack 35 years later. So it is no hurry. Try to cope stop moving as fast as you need to. That helps. A few days and it passes until next time. Or that’s what I do. Good luck to you all out there struggling with this. ❤️
God bless you son. I’m living with MS for 20 years now. My prayer is for a cure for the young people. I got to have a nice life for 45 years.
🙏🏻🧡

Hi Seb, I diagnosed myself at the age of 42, I had. Many symtoms which as in your case came and went and it wasnt until I experienced a year of unremitting symtoms including one leg feeling shorter than the other, face tingles over one side of my face and loosing my sense of taste , extreme fatigue and many more. I went to the doctor who told me I was neurotic. I then devloped severe double vision and took myself off to casualty and the hospital took me in for tests as by looking in my eyes they knew there was someting wrong. I suddenly started joining all the dots and said to them I think I have MS and they said I am sorry to confim your diagnosis is correct. I am now 76 and am still walking with the aid of crutches , don' t allow this ilness to define you or your life.
Thank you so much for sharing! That is truly inspiring 💪🏻🧡
What kind of test/exam should detect MS?
An MRI and a spinal tap 🙏🏻🧡
Same as me! I just keep going with all my health issues! We got this 👌🙏🤜🤛👊❤️
Yes we do 🤩🧡
I admire you. I'm so tired of our health care system in the US! I've been going in circles for about 5 years now. My fight is wearing out!
It's encouraging you're holding on. My quality of life has changed as a result of MS. I was diagnosed October of 2020. My physical health is so different. Plus, my mental health has changed too. I've researched You Tube videos frequently upon being diagnosed. I've learned that black seed oil and The Terry Wahls Protocol have been life changing natural alternatives to Improve as an MS fighter. Have you used anything that helps to manage this mysterious condition which sucks? Stay 💪
I'm with you on this
Pray you received the care you needed ❤️
Did you get a diagnosis yet
Dude blacked seed oil come on it ain’t gonna help do your research on stem cell therapy as a cure
LORD JESUS I COME TO YOU RIGHT NOW PRAYING FOR MY FRIEND SEB, I PRAY THAT ALL SICKESS AND DISEASE GO FROM HIM, RIGHT NOW ,IN THE NAME OF JESUS !!!! BY HIS STRIPES YOU ARE HEALED SEB. AMEN
🙏🏻🧡
Beautiful
Amen
I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. But am grateful to have found this video. I literately have been going through the same symptoms since I was younger but usually disregarded them. Now all of a sudden now I’m 41 things have dramatically gotten worse and am actively seeking medical care as it’s gotten too much. The one with your speech is kind of mind blowing as I went a long while just mixing up words or forgetting how to say something but it went away so I ignored it. The foot thing also happening where doctors said possibly a pinched nerve as well as the random tingling sensation. I see doctor tomorrow and will specifically ask about MS as I couldn’t understand what is happening. Hope you are doing ok still. Thank you for putting this out there.
@@darksoulsaiyan you’re welcome
I'm 54, I was diagnosed at 33, I had exactly the same symptoms as you, along with severe lower back pain, and what I now know as ice pick headaches. I had all these symptoms for at least 10 years before I was diagnosed, I was brushed aside and told it was stress.
Wow, thanks for sharing 🙏🏻🧡
Ice pick headaches,I have; one tendon in my neck as tight as a violin string,since childhood, I have a PTSD like stare, numbing on 1/2 of my face, I wonder, cry myself to sleep with muscle pain
I have ice pick headaches, tingling left ankle bone area, sometimes left side of face, double vision at times, severe fatigue, sometimes forget how to swallow. Years of lower back pain. It’s driving me insane. I don’t know if I have ms or if it’s anxiety. No one listens.
@@julieannemiller6563 It certainly sounds like MS, especially if you're having difficulties with balance. Get to see a neurologist, Leave the Cat scans alone, get an MRI of your brain and spine, a Neurologist would order this. A lumbar puncture may be needed too. Yes sometimes we really have to push to be heard. I hope you're successful and they are able to diagnose and treat whatever condition you have. I wish you well.
10 years ago I lost my vision in my left eye. My optic nerve was so swollen they didn't think I would ever recover. Spinal taps showed my opening pressure at over 50 and I had 13 lesions on an MRI. For 10 years things got worse. Headaches, vision problems, constant pain. I was forgetting everything, I can barely hold anything and losing my balance constantly. I went to all appts and was prescribed hydrocodone for the terrible pain but nothing for the actual MS. They kept me running in circles. I went last week for a regular eye exam and both nerves are so swollen they don't know how I am not blind. I had an immediate MRI and over 40 new lesions. My vitamin d level is 0.02. It's almost non existent and now they are rushing everything. Infusions and tests and finally, FINALLY AFTER 10 LONG YEARS they are putting me on an MS med. It's a hard disease to diagnose but medical treatment is not one size fits all and I wish they saw it that way. They don't understand that their 7 years of college and reading on what symptoms are will never ever replace our years of actually feeling it, experiencing it. I am so glad we live in an age where we have access to resources and other people to reach out to. I hate that so many have gone through it but a chronic illness is terrible in itself but feeling like no one understands makes it worse. I am a full time caregiver to both of my parents, a wife, a mom and I just felt like I needed to fix everyone else. But I didn't want to get out of bed. MS is not my only health issue and I was pretty much born sick but being looked at like I was crazy or you are only 26, you can't be that sick, I surprised myself holding on this long. I am praying this new medicine breathes life back into me and I might finally get to live a normal life at 36. But I still am most grateful for the community that exists, that listens and understands. You are all my true heros and lifesavers. I am thinking of and praying for all of you.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻🧡
What is the medicine?
Have they ever suggested that you may have Intracranial Hypertension?
Hi Seb I distinctly remember my first M.S. symptom it was when I was in Turkey on holiday with my wife. I was laying on my bed when I felt my right thigh had a slight tingle feeling wich went on for 2 weeks then went so I forgot all about it, then a few months later I was having a wee in my local pub when suddenly my right arm flew up and really started to hurt so the following morning I went straight to the hospital and over a period of 6 months I had loads of checks done I.e. M.R.I. scans an E.E.G. scan, loads of bloods taken from me and finally a lumber puncture done and was finally told I had M.S. so thats my diagnosis story. I have now had M.S. for 22 years and im still walking around but sometimes need my mobility scooter so seb good luck to you in health & life ✌ PEACE✌

Hi Seb, i too can relate to the fatigue that seems to be induced with concentrated communication. I have been watching you ramble for about a year now (next week is my one year anniversary of my PPMS diagnosis) and wanted to take this moment to let you know how much you and others sharing has me come to grips with my MS. Thank You!
Love and light Trevor. This disease is so different for all of us. Hope your DMT is going well and working
Thank you for the gratitude and I really hope that you are doing okay 🙏🏻🧡
Thank you posting this video. I pray that it will help someone who needs some encouragement to speak up about their early signs of MS. My daughter Lacy had several occasions where her face was numb or her leg would feel numb. The doctors didn’t take her seriously until the day she took a nap on a Sunday afternoon because she was abnormally tired and woke up with no sight in her left eye. Her eyesight never returned. They finally took her seriously and ran enough tests to diagnose her with MS. She was 25 years old in unfortunately her health deteriorated. About a year later she suffered a stroke. The artery that supplies blood to the brain near the back of her neck collapsed causing the stroke. She survived and spent over a month in the hospital and a few weeks in a nursing home for therapy. Due to the effects of all the steroids prescribed for her MS episodes and the stroke the arteries to her hip joints atrophied causing her hip joints to crumble. She had one hip replaced and a year later had the other one replaced. Unfortunately she passed away in her sleep one night when her heart just stopped beating. She was 28. I find myself wondering if she might have done better if they could have diagnosed her MS sooner. Thank you again for your efforts.
I am so so sorry Shawn… I have no words. One does hope that people will feel encouraged to address their symptoms as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story with us here 😢🧡

Oh my goodness ((hugs))
Oh 😢 this is so sad. I am so-so sorry for your loss Shawn.
I'm am so sorry for your loss
I have four autoimmune disorders, including MS. Oddly, MS is the fourth diagnosis (2020). I was in an abusive relationship, in 2019, when symptoms began. In December 2019 the entire right side of my body went numb, save for a few spots. I was dizzy every time I got up to do anything and experienced fatigue. It was difficult to balance and I would knock into things often. Slips and falls occurred. I experienced an extreme tingling and buzzing when I would lower my chin to my chest and look down. It went straight down the base of my head and the whole of the back of my neck. Some of these symptoms began much earlier than 2019 but I didn’t pay much attention to them. I went to a neurologist in 2020, had a multitude of MRI’s done, as well as sensory tests and a spinal tap. I have very low B12 vitamin in my body and have to get injections monthly. The fortunate thing is that there’s only tearing on my spine and I don’t have anything on my brain. My neurologist says MS had been dormant in my system for years, undetected. I’m handling it all pretty well and have decided not to go on a biologic medicine for the time being. Wishing all the best to anyone who suffers from MS and other autoimmune disorders. 💚
Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙏🏻🧡
Sounds like the abusive relationship triggered it coming on early. Look into nervous system work and gut health work for auto immune and to get back into the parasympathetic system
L’Hermittes’s disease I had that and kept telling doctors they checked me for all manner of things but to no avail. But it is an indication of MS.
Abusive relationships will do it. Thyroid tumor removed when I was 22, not long after finally going no contact with my toxic mother. 🤔
"puff out your cheeks and smile...😅"omg the doctor stories chronically ill people have ...
This was an excellent video for someone who fears they may have some of these specific symptoms of MS to look into. My paternal grandmother had MS, after getting hit by an out of control driver on her work lunch break with her co-workers crossing the street in 1949. Car accidents to the body can bring it on, she had a broken back and more. Thank you, and God Bless. ❤
🙏🏻🧡
I had all these symptoms. But years of MRIs showed nothing!
Turned out I had a wheat allergy that went toxic! If I eat wheat or come in contact with the plant, I start experiencing MS symptoms and my general blood work indicates leukemia.
Unfortunately, the damage is very real.
I'm grateful it's not MS or leukemia. That was the most difficult journey to experience!
May you all be okay.
🙏🏻🧡
Gluten and wheat they spray chemd on the wheat they are trying to speed up death to lower the population.

As someone with Fibromyalgia, I can see how doctors tell you that nothing is wrong. I can understand if it’s one strange symptom, but as many strange symptoms as you have had, they should have taken you more seriously. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. The fatigue is no joke! Many MS symptoms are found in Fibro. It scares me to think that my doctors might be missing something.
I hope not 😞🧡
I too have fibro, but what has helped me is cutting out the sugary junk and getting more walking in. Also, less caffeine and more healthy foods. Salads and lean meats. Made such an improvement !
A healthy diet does help! 🙏🏻🧡
Know what you mean by fibro. CFS and MCS has been listed an a neurological illness in the medical text books
I’ve had fibromyalgia since 2016 and I’m now housebound and if I go anywhere I’ll sleep for 2 days and the pain was so bad and nothing helped I feel for this young man so much and everyone who’s suffering from these diseases take care and godbless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was diagnosed when I was 28 (I'm 39 now). Here is my list of starting symptoms:
1. My hand would get tingles and kind of numb. Not badly but like if my hands were just falling asleep.
2. Got a "fuzzy" dot near the center of my vision in my left eye. This dot did get bigger to the point of were it was like looking through a spider web crack made of wax paper. I went to an eye doctor who said I probably scratched my eye and it will get better (it did).
3. My feet and legs started not cooperating with me and as I was walking my foot would just not pickup for the next step and I would stumble or fall. I didn't think much of this because I'm just a clumsy person.
4. It getting harder and harder to read. I would begin reading and my eyes would suddenly start to vibrate (left eye mostly) and I could not make out words or pictures.
These 4 starting symptoms would last for about a week or 2 and them for the most part go away but they would and still do linger. I've been diagnosed with RRMS (relapsing remitting MS) and the progression has slow to a stop.
Thanks so much for sharing! 🙏🏻🧡
Mines been calm the last 9 months. Its terrifying. I often wonder what will happen. I am still getting strange numbness and others but that's all the time. But I haven't had anything major in 9 months. My unable to handle heat went away too. I can finally take hot showers again without getting sick or worse. My nystagmus has been calm too. My MS hugs haven't been near as many either. After 7 years this has been crazy that it calmed so much all of a sudden.
You are helping so many people. Thank you for your good advice!❤
Thank you Mary 🤗🧡
God Bless You!

I have so many of the things you and other people describe as early ms symptoms.. I have been suspecting for a few months now that my numbness, tingling, spasticity, pain and speach impediment has everything to do with ms. Hope you are doing well, Seb, thank you for sharing your experiences with us, it really, really helps!

Hello there, how are you doing now? Hopefully better
Me too buddy.
Please get it checked out! 🧡🙏🏻
Buna Alexandra. Cum ești?totul bine intr-un final?si eu oarecum în aceiași postura.
You have this energy about you that's very intriguing. I hope you realize how intelligent and smart you are! I'm really concerned that I might have MS but I'm pretty sure that my doctor is dismissing my concerns. I'm going to follow your channel for sure. Thank you for sharing :)
Wow, thank you for the compliment ☺️ keep insisting until you feel like you’re being heard properly. Be patient and don’t get frustrated! Let me know how it goes 🤗🧡
Thank you for making this video, Seb. I love listening and reading about systems in the body and processes from doctors even if I cannot comprehend some processes or systems because I know eventually it's all going to tie itself together by different methods of explanation, and it is, after all, one machine, broken down into components. The best learning, I find, is to listen to patients with personal experience. I've suspected I could have it for a long time because whenever I'd query my own symptoms, for the longest time everything kept coming up with MS as the first answers on the search page. The zaps in the eye, the muscle pain on turning the eyes, the terrible squeeze where my bra strap would be. Go to unfasten it then realize I'm not wearing one and haven't in a decade. But, I also have comorbidities like glaucoma, GERD, ct scan signs of ulcerative colitis, a massive hernia that is tearing when I cough or strain, hepatomegaly, and premature atrophic left kidney as well as hypothyroidism and Venous insufficiency/DVT. At least my glucose has been good up until now and my blood pressure, but I got diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and I broke my spine and spinal hardware and stroke, but I don't know who diagnosed me having a stroke or the Pulmonary fibrosis or when. They never warned me. No notification at all. I feel like I won't be around in 5 years or less. In the meantime, I am going to continue learning and doing my yard work and chores.
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles 😞🧡
@@LifeofSebMS I am sorry to hear of yours, too. You're too young to be ill. I just watched a video that said the military tested everyone going in and throughout their service and whoever had Epstein Barr and ended up getting MS. Nobody got MS unless they had Epstein Barr, and 90% of adults get Epstein Barr in the couurse of their lifetime. I read up on Epstein Barr and it can give you mouth and nose cancer and some other kind of severe illness. That is good because new folks can get immunized against Epstein Barr as a prophylactic measure.
Thank you for sharing your story. This is so very helpful.
🧡🙏🏻
I truly wish it wasn’t SO FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE to find a doctor that actually wants to be helpful, understanding, & just do their job as a healthcare provider. Mine has me trapped right now; refuses to help me at all, but refuses to let me go anywhere else to get help. What a nightmare health problems in the US are…
It really is terrible 😞🧡
your lighting is as good as your thoughtful analysis.
😂
Thank you for keeping us informed!
Any time!
Thank you for this. My mom has MS. Her sister has MS. Whenever I’ve had an issue, the doctors would test me for MS; granted I’ve had some weird ones like optic neuritis. I’m 40 now. I don’t have MS, but I still regularly watch videos like this.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🧡
You are such a great essence to have on this platform to teach others about that this horrible disease is like. Lately my hands feel somewhat unresponsive to my writing, words getting jumbled idk if its stress or MS. But it runs in the family so I'm getting an MRI very soon. I hope it gives me the clear, but if not at least I ruled it out and urge others to get checked if they have these symptoms.
Thank you for sharing 💖 stay strong, don’t stress and I hope you get an answer soon 🙏🏻
Thank you Seb, my son also diagnosed with MS, great advice.
🙏🏻🧡
My son was diagnosed with MS at 17, Can so relate to your story. Thank you for sharing it,

What were his symptoms?
Thank you for sharing your MS journey. Looking back, I remember little things that were off. When I had a seizure in a grocery store, that should have been a red flag. However, I was more concerned about my pregnancy and the health of my son. One morning, out of nowhere, I stepped out of bed and my right foot was numb and paralyzed. The plethora of neurologist gave me the “it’s in your head,” since the MRI and Spinal Tap were negative. Each ignored my obvious symptoms leaving me hopeless. Finally, I found an MS specialist. My MRI showed various plaques. It was actually a relief receiving a diagnosis, as treatment options were available (not as many as today.) I’m secondary progressive, and my symptoms have increased in number and intensity and have become stranger: Extreme fatigue, pain, tremors, difficulty pronouncing words, finding words, seizures, migraines, depression, anxiety, frequent bouts of diarrhea, decreased balance and ambulation, lack of filter at times, spasms, sleep disturbances, weird coloration on my legs and feet, etc. There’s more, but that was enough for now. I miss nursing, but I can’t hold down a job…that’s the worst. But I know I’m not the only one. God Bless You and everyone who fights this disease daily.
Hey Denise, thank you for sharing your struggle with us. Hopefully now that you’re diagnosed the treatment will help slow down further progression 🙏🏻🧡
@@LifeofSebMS You have an amazing attitude, and are empathetic to the MS community. Sometimes it’s difficult to share symptoms that aren’t exactly sexy…lol. It’s refreshing not to be ridiculed, but understood by a compassionate person, like yourself, who’s also trying to decipher unusual symptoms that present out of nowhere, in addition to the “usual” symptoms dealt with daily. I just subscribed to your channel. Take care for now and God Bless You!
Hi Denise! 😮 thank you for sharing your story.
I thought I was the only one with that amount of symptoms which I experience every day. I also suffer from fatigue, dizziness, migranes, numbness on the left half of my body and my face, tingling, difficulties with walking and balance, muscle weakness, stomach issues, vision problems,muscle spasms, sleep problems. But what is more intresting- is that I also used to be a nurse before I fell completely sick in 2022.
And just like yourself - I miss my job so much... it is hard to be the one who needs care now, while all you wish for is to be there for others.
I was finally diagnosed with MS this August 2023.
Just wanted to say hi and thank you , hope you are doing well ❤
I have many of the same symptoms, they are alleviated by vitamin D high magnesium (3 type) lionsmane mushroom, NAC and folate and iron!
I would agree Seb... I am lucky that I have just been diagnosed at 48, but I can now reflect on some of the small things I have had since 25.
Like the drop foot which was like once every week I would trip over my toes. My dad passed away from MND and a flare up 6 months ago I got a few more symptoms and I demanded neurological investigation and the MRI turned up suspected RRMS.
A lot of times we ignore things that are not particularly disabling and the symptoms are so slight.
So, yes, all the symptoms you list are a good list and even the slightest symptom could be worthy of investigation
Sorry to hear that’s brother… the longer the diagnosis the more painful it becomes
@@LifeofSebMS I am still mobile and am handling it okay. The drop foot was so slight for 25 years, it was not a concern. Then I got the massive fatigue and the foot drop exacerbated in a flare-up. But I am walking fine and only need a cane when extremely fatigued and may need balance assistance.
@@LifeofSebMS but I have very little pain, sometimes a slight burning sensation.
I also had the dropped foot all the time would trip with my right foot. :(
Thank you for posting this-I think that anyone with MS needs the encouragement. They say it can be hard to diagnose but and my experience is that a lot of drs can blow it off.
The symptoms can be so odd, that a person with no knowledge (all of us before we had it) don’t connect them.
I probably had pre symptoms and didn’t know-I knew that something was happening.
And then the first symptoms came in a little pack, double vision, speech problems, fatigue, and some others. Thankfully I found a great neurologist.
Thank you, and God bless all of you who are living with this.
Thank you Debbie 🙏🏻 your journey sounds a whole lot like what many people have to go through before being diagnosed: confusion, loneliness and being ignored. Take care 🤗🧡
Hi Debbie how are you being treated and how is it working for you?
What a beautiful young man! I pray for all the best for you.
🙏🏻🧡
This video was so informative. I have had most, if not all, of these symptoms. I've been diagnosed with a pinch nerve, sciatica, arthritis in my knee, low vitamin d, and carpal tunnel syndrome. I'M 53 yrs old and have never needed glasses. At 49,I had to get bifocals, and my eye doctor was baffled .My last episode was over a yr ago... now I'm experiencing several simultaneously. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was nine, and my right leg would lock up while sitting, and it was an excruciating pain. Mom always said it was growing pains....now most of my problems are on my right side. Thanks for sharing your journey
Thanks for your comment 🙏🏻🧡
Stay strong my fellow MS warrior ❤
You too!! 💪🏻🧡
Im dealing with all of these. I was told i may have MS then told it was two other things then not and now im getting more checks. This was a comforting video thank you.
🙏🏻🧡
I’m 28, and had an episode of optic neuritis about six weeks ago, initially I just went to my optician to check if my glasses prescription was wrong! They were excellent and immediately referred me to the hospital for tests the next morning with ophthalmology. They diagnosed optic neuritis and said that it might be an early sign of MS. I’ve been dealing with fatigue, joint pain and tingly hands for a long time and was investigating the potential of fibro with my GP - now I’m not so sure! I have a follow up in a few days with a consultant and honestly I’m terrified, but watching your videos over the past few days has really helped, as has seeing people in a similar situation support each other in the comments.
I don’t know what will come, but I know I’ll just take it a day at a time, and I hope all reading this can do the same, and that each day is as wonderful as it can possibly be.
💪🏻🧡
I just came across your video young man. Thank you. Very useful information.
Thank you very much 🙏🏻🧡
My first symptoms started when I was 3, which I still have now at 59, and MS specialists agreed that was a clear start. My mom ridiculed me for every symptom I had, school teachers too, so I just shut up fast. When I lived on my own at 21, I went to a specialist whenever I had an obvious issue. Well over a 150 different specialists later, being insulted and ridiculed so often, I finally found a specialist who did the tests for MS at the age of 42 and it was confirmed. By then I personally knew I had it, as I read online in detail about MS, but kept it quiet because of all the insults.
The fact that I mostly had a-typical symptoms, the fact that specialists only see the scope of their specialty and not beyond, the fact that specialists are trained to treat horses and not zebras, the fact that neurologists always ask the same few questions and never dive in deeper, made it take this long to get diagnosed. So, I did go and see many specialists and it still took 39 years before 1 recognized what I had and put 2 and 2 together.
And when a new medical issue arrived, as it did a few times, the whole circus starts right over to find help. But, they are not wearing me down, never. Be your own advocate when instinct says there is a serious problem, as I always did.
So true!! You have to be strong in this journey 💪🏻🧡
Seb. Have you looked into infusion type medications? I believe MS isn't fought aggressively enough, earlier on. We have to think of us, 30 years from now... Been following you for a few years. Proud of you from a distance 💗
I am on an inufsion type medication! It’s the strongest there is, so I’m hoping it will keep me stable for a long time 🙏🏻🧡
This is such valuable information. Thank you so much for sharing your experience
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻🧡
Makes me really glad I went to the hospital yesterday and now have an neuro referral despite being 21
Thank you for this video. It solidifies in my mind that I know something is definitely off in my nerves / wiring, just as I’ve told numerous doctors and all just seem to look right through me and dismiss me. I want to go to another and request other / more tests (they have only done the normal routine ones thus far) and I’m concerned they will file me as a hypochondriac, which I most certainly am not. What I am is worried about all these weird issues going wrong at once within my body and mind. Sensations and tingles or numbness or cramping or whatever is planned for the day. I never know but I too can’t get much done due to fatigue and soreness. Just a few years ago I could clean for 6 hours straight but now I need to lay down after vacuuming two rooms. I know, just waiting for the white coats to acknowledge the truth. Peace to everyone on their journey. You watched this video for a reason, like I did. Love.
Hey there, you should probably start fresh with another doctor and hope to get tested… 🙏🏻🧡
NAC and lionsmane mushroom
My first symptoms was when my legs became increasingly tired and were taking long to recover. At first I through it was due to excessive exercise but after some rest they only mildly began to recover. I've always had cognitive issues with MS, even at school they stated that I have a high level of intelligence, but for some reason I pick things up a lot slower than the rest of the class. Today I mostly follow the Jelinek diet along with taking Vitamin D. I was diagnosed in 2020
Hey thanks for sharing. How are you doing today? 🙏🏻🧡
Ketogenic diet is now recommended to lessen symptoms per latest study along with D3.
I have to say I have done well on low carb diets! I’m currently avoiding grains and trying to limit carb intake while upping my fruit and vegetable intake 🙏🏻🧡
Take magnesium supplements with D3. Works like taking vit C with iron supplements.
Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you for your episode. It really helps me.
🤗🧡
My first symptoms: lost ability to taste, difficulties walking, numb lower legs, fatigue, feeling heavy-- not dx until 15 years after what I think was first attack. Myself AND doctors disregarded the signs. Pay attention to your body and be your own advocate when it comes to your health! Especially now that there are so many effective MS meds. I'm now in SPMS at 45.
The problem is that when doctors disregards your symptoms you automatically trust them and convince yourself it's nothing serious. I'm sorry you progressed to SPMS, wish you all the best.
@@kara7197 I agree! It all makes sense looking back, but not while it was happening
@@lw5682 Exactly! I was so reassured by doctors that I didn't worry a bit about half my face being numb and strange feelings on the legs. Looking back that was very idiotic, but I don't think it was our fault.
Can I ask what the initials you said about your disease means? I’m so sorry it took so long to be diagnosed. That’s just terrible. I pray you’re doing well now.
SPMS
“Go home, you’re fine.” I can definitely relate to that. Diagnosed in 2016 and doing well with medication. MS is not cheap *cries in American
😩🧡
Which medication is working for you?
@@socratese5 I’ve been taking Copaxone 40 mg/ml since 2016.

Nice of you to go back there for folks.
I will be 43 soon and from 41 243 I have went from being able to walk and get around to using a Rollator and wheelchair God bless you for dealing with it for so long much respect sir

Thank you for sharing your story! 🙌🙏
🙏🏻🧡
Good morning Seb. It's so comforting seeing your journey on your TH-cam. You`re very strong, helpful and informative. This gives me a better idea of how to take my current MS diagnosis. I've had the symptoms since i was 14, but sadly my symptoms could've also been my Diabetes that's why I mainly focused on taking care of it, that's why it also took so long until further testing. Wish me luck on my first dose, I have my fingers crossed LOL, Also, I hope you're doing well, your health and life itself, take care.
Thank for sharing sister and stay strong. Do share your story with us if you feel comfortable enough 🙏🏻🧡
Don’t forget your Vitamin D3.
Thanks Seb for sharing
🙏🏻🧡
Hi Seb, I don't think you have to feel guilty for disregarding your first symptoms. I developed MS at around your same age, I saw several doctors but I was always disregarded as an anxious person, or told that female hormones were the culprit. Unfortunately a lot of doctors see a young person and think it cannot be anything serious, and thus we have to wait until something very bad happens. I remember years ago before being diagnosed that I really thought I was crazy and I was considering starting taking psycodrugs, because apparently I seemed ok but I had so many different kinds of pain, numbness, vertigo and fatigue.
You are right that we should push more, but I believe doctors approach must change as well. In the past MS was seen mainly in people around their 40s, now most people start developing it at a much younger age, so they definitely must check this as well.
Yes its true ....younger people r now being diagnosed with various autoimmune conditions N ITS DIFFICULT....
N they r stressed to the limit to take care of their elderly yet they won't be able to take care of themselves
HOW SELFISH R THESE OLDER GENERATIONS...THEY HAD THEIR FUN N LIVES LIVED TO THE FULLEST N NOW THEY DEPEND ON THEIR SICKLY KIDS....HOW LONG THE KIDS GONNA SURVIVE IS THEIR FEAR
TIMES HAVE CHANGED ....PEOPLE MUST UNDERSTAND .....
So true sister 🙏🏻🧡
It's a long story, and I currently have a migraine, so I won't get into the whole thing. But I understand how horrible it is to be treated like your crazy and blown off by doctors . I had one sit me in his office and tell me I was young and healthy to go live my life. Mind you at this point I had , had a ongoing migraine for 6 months and spent my days violently throwing up. Not to mention he never even talked to me before that day, I met with his rude nurse Practitioner.
Sounds horrible 😔🧡
@@stuffwelike7184 Some have a "god" complex and no real empathy, they think they are all knowing. So sorry you had to endure such agony, that is just awful!
Thank you for sharing your life. Much appreciated
My pleasure 🤗🧡
Thank you for this informative video. 🤗
🙏🏻🧡
Feels. My first symptoms were numbness on my upper left arm but it was only there for a day or 2 and I also disregarded it. A few weeks later, I woke up with double vision one morning and it didn't go away for 2 days. I went to the ER and after an MRI, I got my MS diagnosis. That was on June 5th, 2013 😢
Thanks for sharing ☹️🧡
Thank you so much for all the sharing you are doing!! Do you know about Vit B6?
I take it as part of a multivitamin 😉🧡
Yes, you are your own best advocate !
My good friend has been diagnosed, but only after years of misadventures with several doctors. I'm on TH-cam now trying to learn more about other people's experiences with MS.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Hopefully you’ll find sufficient information here! 🙏🏻🧡
I was incredibly fortunate that I was diagnosed before I had my first known symptoms. I hit my head at work and after a month my scalp was still very tender so they sent me for an MRI to make sure I didn’t have a skull injury. They discovered signs of lesions and referred me to a neurologist. I didn’t have symptoms until 2 years later…a numbish feeling from the waist down and feeling like I was walking through concrete and it was an effort to lift my feet so I met with the neurologist again and started treatment. I’ve done really well until 8 years ago when I developed vertigo and had to stop working. Now I have some cognitive issues, and balance issues.
Wow, you were definitely very lucky then! 🙏🏻🧡
@@LifeofSebMS I feel like God had a hand in it.
@@Lwah0812I would say so. Stay close to Him 🧘♂️ 🙏 ☯️
This video is making me tear up 😢 I’ve had many vague neurological symptoms since age 17. I’m now 32, almost 33. Over the years, talk has been floating around from various doctors I’ve been to - the possibility of MS. But then nothing else more was said, because my scans were always clear. But I’ve heard of people having MS that went undetected due to scans appearing clear. I’m not giving up, I will find my answer. I have so many of the symptoms. I know there is something off about how I’m feeling. Looking around at various doctors near me. May my path be lit and guide me to the right place. I wish the same for all of you, that you will get your answers, and feel better. ❤
Keep pushing sister! If you feel something isn’t it right trust your gut feeling 🙏🏻🧡
Yes, if there's no a good/knowledgeable person reading the scans, MRIs then a patient won't be diagnosed.
😢
Aloha Seb, thank you for sharing.
🤗🧡
I hope your sharing these many different symptoms will help others..👍👍👍
That is my deepest wish 😌🧡
My mother was treated for numerous seemingly unrelated things….prednisone injections for shoulder issues, headaches, fatigue. It was an ophthalmologist who told her she had MS and sent her to a neurologist. What a horrible disease it is.
😞🧡
Just continue with your life--MS is important to monitor and treat, but you have much life to live!
We try 🙏🏻🧡
I developed MS when I was around 29-30. I also disrecarded the symptoms. Some similar to you and some other ones.
What were your symptoms?
🧡
Hi Seb, this is the first one of your videos I have watched and it was great! I remember back in 2017 I went to eye specialist and kept telling her my eye was blurry, felt like muscles were pulling my eye. She did all her tests and said nothing wrong from my side of it but have you ever had a brain m.r.i? I said no, why and she said I think you need to get it done and set it up for me. Since she did this I was able to get my M.S diagnosis. I had so many symptoms that I just brushed it off. My M.S specialist figured I had M.S for several years, before I had the m.r.i. great videos and l forward to watching more.😂
Hi there! Thanks for joining us! Sadly most people have to wait around for a long time before getting a diagnosis 😕🧡
This video resonates with me so much. I have been experiencing symptoms for years. recently I had a bad attack. Insomnia, foot drop, muscle spasms, extreme fatigue, tremors with use of my limbs, headaches, eye pain, double vision and a whole lot of pain. For years I have tried to get help but am just disregarded. Went to a neuro recently and he did a whole eval and told me I'm just stressed. I have been to the E.R. twice in three weeks for these symptoms. Trying to get an MRI through a private clinic. so i can maybe finally have help. It gets so hard to deal with and not have something to point to. To miss weeks of work because you cant get out of bed or open the blinds or eat or sleep. When your partner breaks up with you because your situation is affecting him too deeply. The family history of M.S. looms over it all. Fingers crossed I wont have to wait 18 months for an MRI, its been long enough I'm so tired.
I hope you get an answer soon! 🙏🏻🧡
Hey, did you get the MRI?
Symptoms are so different for so many people... I wish I could have gotten doctors to listen to me sooner! But what's done is done... I'm 20 years in now 😊
They really are very different and unpredictable, so come to think of it: can you really blame doctors for struggling to diagnose it? 🙏🏻🧡
@@LifeofSebMS I'm not blaming the doctor, but if they would have listened a little bit more then brushing me off I could have been diagnosed a lot sooner started medicine a lot sooner ... I'm blessed, my grandfather when he was diagnosed with MS they didn't have any medicine at all... I'm just saying I regret that the doctors didn't listen to me and I didn't push it harder, it took me moving out of the state I was in and finding a new doctor.
😞🧡
Appreciate you putting this up. I have some unusual things going on & start to wonder if it is MS related.
You should ask a doctor about them specifically and mention your concerns! 🙏🏻🧡
Wow, great upload thank you for your story😊
🤗🧡
@@LifeofSebMS ebv causes glandular fever, then leads to multiple sclerosis..
Live attenuated vaccinations are not recommended for people with MS.. Can you imagine how many people at risk, not knowing this, have gone to a country that entails getting a live virus vaccine (eg yellow fever vac) ?
This is all part of a 40-year study and can be found in PubMed studies.
Great video and thank you for sharing your experience! I also feel warm in my face when I experience these symptoms: Muscle aches, joint pain, weakness in arms I can't lift them longer than 15 to 20 seconds before they start hurting and getting tired, muscle spasms, balance issues when walking, cog fog, speech difficulties where I stumble over my words and have trouble recalling words, nap straight after work, tremors when I'm feeling cold and not cold, tingling crawly feeling like a bug is crawling on me, cold feet and sometimes hands . I also have ADHD just diagnosed. I had an evaluation done in 2015. I was 21ish and saw a neurologist. He did the needle test on me where he stuck me with needles and tested different parts of my body to check my nerves (I forgot what that test is called). The only thing he found was my left side of my body is weaker than my right but nothing significant. Nothing happend after that. Now this whole week I'm experiencing all same symptoms I mentioned earlier again to the point where I was crying last night from the pain and overwhelming sensations. My mom suggested I'm probably dehydrated and that helped a little drinking water/ electrolytes. Can dehydration really cause all the symptoms I'm experiencing? Is this enough to seek another evaluation from a different neurologist? Should I see a different specialty doctor? I'm lost on what or if I should do something about this. Sorry this is long and thank you for anyone who can guide me 😊
Hey there, thanks for sharing your story. In my humble opinion, you should definitely ask another doctor! It sounds like you are being taken seriously enough 🙏🏻🧡
Yes, I would definitely see another doctor. I would request blood tests for an auto-immune disease and specifically a blood test for MS if you think the symptoms fit what you have researched about MS. Advocate for yourself and do some research. Try not to do too much, can cause unnecessary anxiety, just enough to know what illnesses fit your symptoms. Don't let them dismiss you. God bless, heal, & give you strength. 🙏❤
Also, your family doctor can probably order these blood tests, but a Rheumatologist will know better how to analyze the tests and treat you, if it is an auto-immune illness. It may not be, so don't get nervous before you know anything. A Naturopath or Functional Medicine Dr. will be able to help you figure out what's going on also. Stay strong! God is with you!🙌😊
Yes! Get evaluated again! I'm definitely NO EXPERT, but you should not feel that way. Unfortunately, it can take years to get a diagnosis.
@@angiebieber2581 Thank you! I'll probably have to find a neurologist as that's what my GP has reccomended to me. If I request blood tests will the doc just know what tests are associated with auti immune diseases?
I started having symptoms that was on and off and after researching they aligned with MS. I'm not a person that goes to the doctor until it's really bad. Since it let up after getting symptoms I never got checked. Thing is, after changing my diet they all went away. I was about 90% vegetables 10% animal. The more I changed to higher animal lower vegetable the better I got. I'm now ketovore with no symptoms of MS and digestive problems relieved also.
Hey Kelle, that is really interesting! I’m also trying to limit carbs and so far happy with how I’m feeling 😌🧡
Thank you Seb, and God bless! 🙏🏼
🙏🏻🧡
Thanks for your video Seb

I've been told about my "pinched nerves" too many times. Spend way too much money on chiropractic and led me to believe that a lot of what I was feeling was just a pinched nerve.
Classic… 💪🏻
☼ It is so hard not to write everything off as anxiety. Especially w/the cost of MR, and risk of Dx momentum in someone young. And the first MR probably wont show anything. Until the drop foot and blinking attack, w/the lethargic history - im not sure any doctor COULD* have treated it much differently. (*'Should' is an open question). Great vid man.
Do you mean you had an attack of repetitive blinking? Because I get that
The costs of medical is very high
My whole family has various autoimmune conditions n the costs r very high ....we r struggling to survive on limited meds n tolerate the emotional pain ,anxiety n positively continue as normal as possible.....

You are absolutely GORgeous
Thank you 🥰

My first symptom before being DX'd was tinnitus (ringing in my ears). Never went away.
That sucks 😔🧡
Ugh, me too.
Hi thank you so much for your video and information and I hope you are doing well x I have had dizzy spells numbness and burning tingling feelings in my body for years. I have been told its function neurological disorder but I don't think it is. My bladder is weak and I'm having spasms in my back and tummy and face. I find it difficult to walk alot without pain I can get confused. In my late teens I had glandular fever and was very ill for nearly a year with fatigue and weakness. I heard MS can be linked to that. I feel like I've got the symptoms but not getting taken seriously x
I have the same issue . I came to the emergency room as my legs wouldn’t lift off the bed . Ans my voice went . Still here 2 months later . They excluded ms stroke and other things like Parkinson’s . I asked why and they said “ you have clear mri and spinal tap so it isn’t m s . However , I have every symptom , have had many diagnosis up till now ... FND is what they settled on . The thing is wirh FND distraction makes systems go , so don’t focus on the affected limb, wirh ma focusing helps . Focusing helps me every time , distraction doesn’t at all . You can have both . Neurological conditions set off FND .esp cryps which is often misdiagnosed as fibro , cfs and migraine . You can still have ms wirh clear mri and spin tests ... they do a sensory evoked potential test and you get instant ms answer . I never had this done , they I slow every time I do the visual one where you click the buzzer each time tou see the periferal lights etc . I would get a second opinion if you get any worse .
Sorry for all the typos
Make it sound worse than it is as that might get you taken seriously 🙏🏻🧡
Thank you for your video man!
Thid will be very valuable information to many.
I wish you nothing but the best.
I have often wondered if I have MS though not unlike many of your situations, I just shrugg it off.
Perhaps I need to get checked but I don;t even trust the doctors anymore. . .
I mean howe many told you , you were fine
we need to make then do their job now.

Recuerdo mi primer síntoma de MS, muy raro jaja

Fui al doctor general y no entendía mis síntomas, finalmente me recetó medicamento para las varices teniendo 16 años! Jaja

Thank you for sharing this! My son has been having these same symptoms. A doctor told him he was fine, but I know something is wrong!
Sounds so very similar to B12 deficiency / pernicious anemia. My sister suffered optic nerve damage and at her worst, was in a wheelchair.

Vision was my first problem I could not renew my driver's license and drove around for about a year-and-a-half without them I still thank God for keeping me safe
That was lucky! I rode a bike with one eye closed to control my double vision 😅🧡
I've had the blinking with my eyes already closed problem for 3 years now, it happens randomly. It started in 2018 with a bunch of other neurological symptoms but all my tests were inconclusive. Then everything started to get better and I convinced myself they were all just symptoms of panic attacks and stress. Now in 2021, I'm having temporary vision loss, weakness and numbness in my legs, and headaches among other things, so I am pursuing doctors again. They keep telling me there is nothing wrong, but I know there is. No idea if it could be MS or something completely different, but my body is screaming at me that something isn't right. I just wish people would take me seriously.
