@@allie9015 don’t be unfeeling! I am 49 years old and got diagnosed with MS at 19. Well before Covid/ Covid vaccines. Illnesses existed before Covid. Challenge your biases- do research- talk to people who got diagnosed young.
My cousin had Ms. Diagnosed in the 1960's when there were no meds except steroids. Take Vitamin D and eat a clean diet. My mom's cousin wS also diagnosed. My husband's niece and nephew were diagnosed at 50 and 47. We never had kids due to Msin my family and years later, his family.

I’m so sorry for everything you have been trough! 🥺 I’m sending you all the love and strength and I will pray for that everything goes well on the 1st of March. You got this! Take care my friend 🧡
Thank you so much! You are sharing so WELL all your symptoms! Many people just simply say..."some numbness in legs", but you are actually sharing very specific way. Unfortunately, I know and understand all your symptoms all too well. I have no diagnosis yet. My MRIs were all "clean", but I definitely have symptoms which could be this condition. I think that I would be glad to have some diagnosis at this point. It is harder to be in this between-land of not knowing how to deal with this. Specially that smile explanation...wow! Yes, I have that! I know *exactly* what you mean. Never heard anybody describing this and so well! I appreciate so much your share! Tack så mycket! I wish you and your family all the very best! Sending much love to you 💕💖💕💖💛💖💛💖💕💕💕
First of all I’m sorry for what you are going through! I hope you get the help you need. And thank you. I try to share the best way I can. Take care dear ❤️
Thank you 🙏🏼 I just said the same thing on your latest Instagram post lol. Community is so important and making people feel less alone by sharing our stories I believe is truly powerful. Sending you all the love and strength ✨
my husband went to chiropractor. pain and weakness got worse. got MRI and appt with neurosurgeon who said if my husband had waited any longer or gone again to chiropractor he would be paralyzed. tendon (?) running along spine was so thin almost snapped and he had two broken vertebrae. please be careful going to chiropractors
It‘s so hurtful to see how after your diagnose your thumbnails changed. Your smile changed…it almost dissapeared. I got. my diagnose a few weeks ago….and i totally can relate to that. Stay positive 🙏🏻 healthy mind and healthy diet can change a lot
This comment really touched me. Thank you my friend and I’m sorry for what you are going through. I’m here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. ❤️
You are a total inspiration,I have been ill since November with very similar symptoms,I have now been referred to neurologist so fingers crossed.i will continue to watch your vlogs you are amazing 💓
Thank you for sharing your story. I was diagnosed one year ago. Optical neuritis triggered everything for me. Although I had many symptoms prior. Im experiencing almost all the symptoms you’ve mentioned - fatigue, extreme headaches, numbness. It’s so scary. My biggest fear is future pregnancy. You’re so lucky to have your babies. I’m 40 and time is running out - I have no babies and am so fearful of what pregnancy may look like. I know I’d have to come off the meds. Urghhh.
I don’t know if this will help but.. when I was pregnant 🤰🏼 I had never felt better in my life! Sure I had pregnancy symptoms but my MS symptoms completely went away! ❤️🙏🏼 I think the traumatic birth (giving birth during the pandemic and lockdown was not fun) was what triggered my biggest relapse and this is the relapse that led to my diagnosis later on. If I could stay pregnant forever I would 100 % want that lol. No DMT’s nothing. Just my body doing what it’s supposed to be doing. 🙏🏼 I think if you were to want to get pregnant and have a child. Working with your doctors on how to help you after birth then you will be much better of than I was. You can still have a family even if you have Multiple Sclerosis! I’m very passionate about this topic so if you have any questions I’m happy to share my thoughts with you.❤️
Wow so sorry you are going through this especially as you have young children . I'm wondering if I may have ms...I get very dizzy, and the weirdest thing I've had is some mornings I can't seem to open my eyelids it's really difficult I haven't had that for a while but it's scarey get pains in my right arm for a year now I had pain in my knee for over a year them one year my shoulder and neck...I have weak legs sometimes gray spots in my vision at times very exhausted most days I get numb feet sometimes these symptoms all come and go but aren't so bad I've gone to the doctors
I don’t know for how long I’ve actually had MS. But for a long time I did not go to the doctor when I had something “weird” going on with my body.. mainly because it always passed or went away.. (very typical for relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis). My recommendation would be to absolutely go see your doctor. Because if it turns out you have MS you want to know about it before you get one attack that could be very serious and leave you with permanent damage or symptoms. My pain in my arm is permanent. I will most likely have to live with it for the rest of my life. Maybe if I had gotten help sooner it could have been prevented. I hope you get the help you need. If I can help you in any way. Let me know. Much love ❤️
That numb feeling, started at your toes, is called stocking parathesis, and can be caused by MS. I've had it twice, mine went from toes to just under my belly button...very scary, and mine took a few weeks to go away. I have MS too.
@@sukijohnson5398 thank you for sharing. I did not know thats what it was called. Mine too, it started in my toe and spread up to my hips. Unfortunately the feeling did not return fully for me. My toe is still completely numb as well the bottom of my feet and backside of my legs. I’m so glad you got your feeling back! 🙏🏼❤️ I don’t think mine ever will… it’s been about 3 years now.
@LiiBorossy My legs are actually both numb from the knees down permanently (not from ms), and I felt it on top of that. There's also something called stocking-hand parathesis, but I've never had it in my hands or arms. My neurosurgeon said it can take weeks, months, or years to go away- it's different in every person. I hope yours goes away!
I’m sorry for what you are going through. I do think that a sense of humor help so try to stay as positive as you possibly can. How long have you had your diagnosis? How are you doing now?
Hello Lii. You mentioned headaches. I had them too and they were sharp but brief. I called them "ice pick headaches" b/c it felt like I was being jabbed it the head with an icepick. To make a long story short, my Neurologist prescribed an anti depressant, specifically Lexapro. I don't know why they work but they are a thing of the past. I have to warn you though antidepressants will have withdrawal effects if you stop. He told me there was no withdrawal effects, but he was wrong. I can't complain though because insurance covers them. Wishing you well... least as well as can be.
Thank you for the tip! I’ve tried anti depressants before but they did not sit well with me. I so glad they work for you.🙏🏼 The headaches you describe are very familiar to me.
I was diagnosed Sept 19 2023. I have weakness moreso on the left side. I have right big toe pain sometimes, and pins and needles in both legs and arms and hands. I have 8 lesions. I’m starting to Kesimpta in a week or so. I’m very terrified. 😢
First of all I’m sorry for what you are going trough! This is terrifying for everyone in your situation and I can relate 100%. ❤️ I’ve had my diagnosis for a little over a year now and it’s been a lot of ups and downs but I promise it gets better. The chock will subside after a while and it gets easier. If you need someone to talk to we are all here for you. You are not alone. Let us know how you get on with your treatment and I will see you soon in a future video. ❤️ You got this!
I have spinal stenosis, but have also struggled with migraines that inhibit my visual field since I was 12. “Hemianopsia” I can only see half of what I’m looking at. They were worse when I was on the birth control pill. Now they come if I take CBD tincture or if I’ve not slept long enough or if I’m really upset about something. My legs are so weak in the morning. I too walk like Frankenstein in when I first get out of bed. I’ve told several different drs that I suspect I may have MS. They all have fobbed me off. They all say my symptoms are due to my spinal stenosis and herniated discs. I guess I’ll just keep keeping on until I can’t anymore. I’m tired of being dismissed by drs. The medical system in the US has turned into crap. It’s no longer about treating people like humans but treating them like an ATM machine. Keep coming to appointments but I’m not going to do anything other than take your payment… that’s how I feel all of my drs are. I have chronic pain and use neurontin and norco to function. Since the “opioid crisis” began in 2016, (I always managed my pain on my own for 48 years- started the two meds in the end of 2020 as I couldn’t function at my job properly anymore). Anyway- if you’re branded in your medical records as taking those two drugs, drs treat you like an addict and as if you’re sub-scum. So when you go to the dr with symptoms they immediately think you’re just there for more medications or that you’re crazy. I’ve never been a drug user, never drink alcohol… I’m about as boring as it gets yet I’m treated like garbage by all my drs. It’s so disheartening. Beyond what I can describe in words. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Be thankful, it sounds like you have a fantastic medical team caring for you. You WILL get through this.
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles!! I think the best thing they could do for you would probably get a MRI on your brain, neck and spine.. and go from there. I really hope you can get the help you need. Thank you for sharing your story with me and I hope you feel like this is a place you can come to be part of our community. With or without a diagnosis, managing horrible symptoms is hard enough. I’m sending you all my strength. Much love ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story- I’m waiting to find out what my diagnosis is- there’s a 4 month wait to be seen by a specialist. So frustrating. How did you cope with the wait?
First of all I’m sorry for what you are going trough! It’s so hard to just “wait” I tried my best to not think about it but we all know that’s impossible. I’m a person that think knowledge is power so I did my research and thanks to that I felt “prepared” for what my neurologist later explained to me. But limit yourself don’t just loose yourself in it. If that makes sense. I would recommend doing things that makes you feel good. Things like go for a nature walk or make yummy food or pamper yourself as much as possible to distract yourself. It gets easier ❤️ I’m here for you
My son's waist went numb so he went to the ER. They scanned him and found out he had lesions on the back of his eye, neck and brain. He lost his vision in one eye 4 years prior. They called in a neurologist and diagnosed him with MS.
Thank you SO much for sharing. You did hreat and got everything across. Im just waoting for a confirmation from the neurologist for confirmation of MS from a lumbar puncture. MRI ses to indicate it is MS. Hearing yiur story is really helpful.
I know you must be scared and feeling all kinds of emotions. I’m thinking of you and all I can say is that it gets easier. The unknown is the worst. 🧡 much love
@@LiiBorossy thank you, I really appreciate you replying to me. It can be scary but like you say the unknown is worse than knowing what you're up against. Really good for me and my husband to know it gets easier. Bless you for your concern and support xx
Hi, I'm an Australian female aged 60. I've written down all of your symptoms as I've thought if my symptoms match, newly subscribed, I have all symptoms and I am going for an MRI. I HAVEN'T had a spinal tap before and I'm scared of the prospect of the possibility I'll be asked to get one. I've had some of the symptoms since I was a child. I'd remembered that I had to use a chair to lean on to do the washing up. My leg or both legs would go numb. In the times we were in lockdown when covid was here, I got a Frozen shoulder in my right arm and the beginning of bone on bone in my shoulders and collarbone hurt. I had it for 3 years and about 4 months. My arm and shoulder still hurts. But different from the frozen type. I'm terribly tired and weak. I'm 60 years old. I have trouble walking and sometimes balance. I use a walking stick. Out in the garden I use a walker/seat. Our property is sloapping. IT'S hard to go up or down the land and stairs. My left arm has been hurting this year and it doesn't go away much now. My other symptoms is numbness, pain in my arches /feet and sore toes. I bruise easily, I tend to loose feeling in either legs, toes, tongue and bottom lip. I've had a sore jaw at times. A sharp pain in my body like lightning. Dry skin, my arms felt separated from the shoulder bones during my frozen shoulder.....like they were ripped off and gone down the road. I have trouble typing, and trouble thinking of words when in a conversation. Thanks for the info on the video.
I have it as well. I'm also told it's MS related (at least in my case). I take Mg both pills and spray and it works only a little for me. I think what that helps with is my legs and feet cramping easily, specially when I stretch in bed. The retless leg is also in the evening for me, mostly when going to bed. However, I'm on a medication that works VERY well. It's called Ropinarole. It says "three times a day" but not being a big fan of drugs, I take a full 1mg pill around 20 minutes of going bed, but I break a pill in half and take it at around 5-6 pm. Not because I feel restless at that time, but because it ensures the nighttime dosage is strenghen enough to get me through the night. It's worked so far. I'm a software engineer by trade so debugging, even self-dbugging in kinda in my nature :). If you've never heard of this drug, tell your doc about it cause unlike a lot of other shit out there, this one works tremendously well.
Hi lil I'm currently under investigation I started getting symptoms a year after pregnancy Your symptoms sound identical with balance and weakness fatigue One arm weakness and pain and spinal pain and stiffness Misconception of space so I've lots of falls and brain zaps I know something is up My rheumatologist is referring Me for a Mri Vision is flashing and a shadow and a constant headache at the back of my head My symptoms are definitely worrying me I often drop plates and burn myself without noticing Ive lost most feeling in my feet I'm glad you finally got a diagnosis
Do u have dizziness all the time like head is speening can't focus. headache pressure type balance problem. tingling burning sensations on body parts like hands arms n feet ???
Sometimes yes. All the above.. my dizziness is not constant thank goodness. If these are your symptoms I would recommend you talking to a doctor. I send you all the love and strength.
Hi Jodi, the unknown is sometimes worse. Just take one step at a time and one moment at a time. You got this. We are all here for you. You are not alone. ❤️❤️🩹
Thanks for the info. Diagnosed in 2019 - taking Ocrevus every 6 months. I recently started a potassium channel blocker that really help my gait and my restless leg symptoms - dalfampridine. Oral - twice a day and inexpensive. Hope you find relief for the arm pain. Gabapentin did nothing for my symptoms
I have chronic pain. Previously diagnosed with fibromyalgia but currently being tested for MS. I get a "pinch" in my shoulder that causes pain all down my arm. I have my wife give me shoulder and neck massages for about an hour almost every day to manage pain and she can get that pain to alleviate. It's a next day thing. But that's still better than it persisting. Have you done regular deep tissue shoulder massages to treat the arm pain?
First of all I’m sorry you are having pains. I hope you get answers soon. I’ve tried everything. My pain in my left arm is just not going away. It’s constant and no matter pain relief I try it’s just not helping.
@@thenerdgirl1 when you were diagnosed with fm did you have mri that time ? I have a lot of Ms symptoms I did mri and came back clean and dr telling me it’s fm but I’m scared I have Ms !
Hi Angela, depending on what county you live the tests vary slightly. But usually they need to make various blood tests, MRI and a spinal tap to determine if you have Multiple Sclerosis. Medical history and neurological examination will also be part of the testing. Take care my friend xx
Im just waiting for results on my mri scan how long did u wait for mri results on brain ? Do u get a burning sensation? My hands and feet buzz and throb
Hi 😊 I’m sorry for what you are going through. It’s a scary time not knowing what will happen and what the results will be. I send you my strength and love. I can’t tell you how fast I got the MRI results because I never went to the neurologist after. (Completely in denial and did not want to see one). I share what happened in my video. Yes I do experience a burning sensation as well as a feeling of ice cold. It can happen on its own or simultaneously in the hands, feet, legs, arms and as well as the top of my head in my case.
Do you need to have a brain MRI with contrast to be able to detect MS? I'm having similar symptoms to yours but I'm too afraid to do an MRI with contrast as I've heard you can have bad effects from contrast.
I have had many MRI’s with and without contrast by now. My first one was a nightmare because I did not know what to expect. But I think the more you have them you get use to it. It’s not the most fun experience but you will be ok! The contrast have been fine. I get tingly in my face for a bit but that’s about it. And I make sure to drink a lot of water after! That helps. Have you had any other tests done?
@@LiiBorossy Thank you for the reply. I have not had any tests yet but will be having them soon. I'm still in the first stage of talking to my doctor about symptoms so first I have to get my bloodwork out of the way in order to rule out stuff then after that is when the doctor will say what tests he thinks should be done.
@@LeeHanDSOME_BoyNextDoor I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get the help you need. If you have any other questions I’m happy to answer. Take care
I'm sorry you are going through so much...thank you for sharing. I also want suggest you listen to Dr. Peter Osborne. He is a molecular biologist here on TH-cam. Have you been genetically tested for gluten intolerance? This is something you may wish to look into. Take care and God bless.
Thank you for your tips! I know that I have gluten intolerance and I’m sensitive to lactose. I try to stay away from both. 🙂 I will check out his channel. Have a wonderful day!!
Hi! Good question. I have a few symptoms that are permanent, I have severe pain in my left arm and shoulder, reduced vision field, numbness and complete loss of sensation in the backside of my legs.. and other symptoms come and go. I’m sure I forgot something.😅 How about you?
This gives me mixed feelings. I always felt and said that when I was pregnant/breastfeeding I have never felt better mentally or physically. I just never knew why.. I can understand why she would have wanted to pump for as long as possible.
I can’t say that I have but I do get migraines often and when I do I loose vision and I get very nauseous and sometimes the pressure in my bed feels like my teeth will fall out from it.🥺 Do you suffer from migraines?
I give up smiling, for walking again. I really wish I could walk. ONE day at a Time. Everyday, will dictate your day. M. S. Has been institutionalized, I Have a neice Sibling of father. And, I found out I have multiple Burn-outs,and I was talking to my Doctor, and said, how can you not say it's hereditary . But, like he said, there's no facts, covering my brain. Black. Spots, all over. My Brain. I am well aware of my problem, but, I have been dealing with this problem, for years. M.S., needs to be accepted, but, with double vision, starts to tell you, there is a problem. I knew this for years and went to work. Even during flare ups, while working. Trucking and loading trucks. And, when I worked in pain. I just worked.
MS is one of the bad diseases to have, because the Pathophysiology of it is unknown, and it could be heterogenous group of diseases manifested phenotypically as MS. Current treatments are only directed to reduce immune cells attack to neurons and their supporting cells (ODCs). These treatments sometimes can not stop attacks though, due to disease provocation to B and T lymphocyte, and disability will progress no matter what you do and follow. Early treatment is a must despite all these negative things. Oh and last the treatment despite not a guarantee to end it, it will end the money in your pocket!! So get insurance and be rich of course
Hi! Sorry I haven’t seen your comment before. I was on the best bet diet for about 5 months. But I found I could not get enough kcal in. I was starting to loose my hair and I realized that following their guidelines but not restricting me of everything was the way to go for me. We need to find balance in everything I feel. 😊
@@LiiBorossy yes, so true. Eat well and eat enough to keep your energy and mental wellbeing. Just no junk food, no sugar. Lots of normal food, proteins and healthy full fat food.
I went to ketovore/paleo and after 5 months my disabling fatique started to lift. I am able to go for walks again and clean my house. It is AMAZING what a diet can do! I agree, sugar is the enemy number 1 with any condition or illness!

I’m very passionate about this topic so if you have any questions I’m happy to share my thoughts with you.❤️
Dr Aaron Boster, an MS Specialist says that pregnancy does seem to make MS symptoms go away during it. Check out his videos.
Wow so sorry you are going through this especially as you have young children .
I'm wondering if I may
have ms...I get very dizzy, and the weirdest thing I've had is some mornings I can't seem to open my eyelids it's really difficult I haven't had that for a while but it's scarey get pains in my right arm for a year now I had pain in my knee for over a year them one year my shoulder and neck...I have weak legs sometimes gray spots in my vision at times very exhausted most days I get numb feet sometimes these symptoms all come and go but aren't so bad I've gone to the doctors
I don’t know for how long I’ve actually had MS. But for a long time I did not go to the doctor when I had something “weird” going on with my body.. mainly because it always passed or went away.. (very typical for relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis). My recommendation would be to absolutely go see your doctor. Because if it turns out you have MS you want to know about it before you get one attack that could be very serious and leave you with permanent damage or symptoms. My pain in my arm is permanent. I will most likely have to live with it for the rest of my life. Maybe if I had gotten help sooner it could have been prevented.
I hope you get the help you need. If I can help you in any way. Let me know. Much love ❤️
That numb feeling, started at your toes, is called stocking parathesis, and can be caused by MS. I've had it twice, mine went from toes to just under my belly button...very scary, and mine took a few weeks to go away. I have MS too.
@@sukijohnson5398 thank you for sharing. I did not know thats what it was called. Mine too, it started in my toe and spread up to my hips. Unfortunately the feeling did not return fully for me. My toe is still completely numb as well the bottom of my feet and backside of my legs. I’m so glad you got your feeling back! 🙏🏼❤️ I don’t think mine ever will… it’s been about 3 years now.
@LiiBorossy My legs are actually both numb from the knees down permanently (not from ms), and I felt it on top of that. There's also something called stocking-hand parathesis, but I've never had it in my hands or arms. My neurosurgeon said it can take weeks, months, or years to go away- it's different in every person. I hope yours goes away!
@@sukijohnson5398 thank you. We can hope 🙏🏼
A very brave girl
Much love to you too 💕💕
Thank you Samantha ❤️ I hope you are well.
I share many of the symptoms you had initially. I joke that I'm a 'gravity tester,' since I fell so often in the early days before my diagnosis.
I’m sorry for what you are going through. I do think that a sense of humor help so try to stay as positive as you possibly can. How long have you had your diagnosis? How are you doing now?
Hello Lii. You mentioned headaches. I had them too and they were sharp but brief. I called them "ice pick headaches" b/c it felt like I was being jabbed it the head with an icepick. To make a long story short, my Neurologist prescribed an anti depressant, specifically Lexapro. I don't know why they work but they are a thing of the past. I have to warn you though antidepressants will have withdrawal effects if you stop. He told me there was no withdrawal effects, but he was wrong. I can't complain though because insurance covers them. Wishing you well... least as well as can be.
Thank you for the tip! I’ve tried anti depressants before but they did not sit well with me. I so glad they work for you.🙏🏼
The headaches you describe are very familiar to me.
Facial nerves are affected by. Central nervous system disorder, depending on where lesions in the brain are.
Do you remember what part?
I was diagnosed Sept 19 2023. I have weakness moreso on the left side. I have right big toe pain sometimes, and pins and needles in both legs and arms and hands. I have 8 lesions. I’m starting to Kesimpta in a week or so. I’m very terrified. 😢
First of all I’m sorry for what you are going trough! This is terrifying for everyone in your situation and I can relate 100%. ❤️
I’ve had my diagnosis for a little over a year now and it’s been a lot of ups and downs but I promise it gets better. The chock will subside after a while and it gets easier. If you need someone to talk to we are all here for you. You are not alone. Let us know how you get on with your treatment and I will see you soon in a future video. ❤️ You got this!
I have spinal stenosis, but have also struggled with migraines that inhibit my visual field since I was 12. “Hemianopsia” I can only see half of what I’m looking at. They were worse when I was on the birth control pill. Now they come if I take CBD tincture or if I’ve not slept long enough or if I’m really upset about something. My legs are so weak in the morning. I too walk like Frankenstein in when I first get out of bed. I’ve told several different drs that I suspect I may have MS. They all have fobbed me off. They all say my symptoms are due to my spinal stenosis and herniated discs. I guess I’ll just keep keeping on until I can’t anymore. I’m tired of being dismissed by drs. The medical system in the US has turned into crap. It’s no longer about treating people like humans but treating them like an ATM machine. Keep coming to appointments but I’m not going to do anything other than take your payment… that’s how I feel all of my drs are. I have chronic pain and use neurontin and norco to function. Since the “opioid crisis” began in 2016, (I always managed my pain on my own for 48 years- started the two meds in the end of 2020 as I couldn’t function at my job properly anymore). Anyway- if you’re branded in your medical records as taking those two drugs, drs treat you like an addict and as if you’re sub-scum. So when you go to the dr with symptoms they immediately think you’re just there for more medications or that you’re crazy. I’ve never been a drug user, never drink alcohol… I’m about as boring as it gets yet I’m treated like garbage by all my drs.
It’s so disheartening. Beyond what I can describe in words.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Be thankful, it sounds like you have a fantastic medical team caring for you. You WILL get through this.
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles!! I think the best thing they could do for you would probably get a MRI on your brain, neck and spine.. and go from there. I really hope you can get the help you need. Thank you for sharing your story with me and I hope you feel like this is a place you can come to be part of our community. With or without a diagnosis, managing horrible symptoms is hard enough. I’m sending you all my strength. Much love ❤️
Same here
Thank you for sharing your story- I’m waiting to find out what my diagnosis is- there’s a 4 month wait to be seen by a specialist. So frustrating. How did you cope with the wait?
First of all I’m sorry for what you are going trough! It’s so hard to just “wait” I tried my best to not think about it but we all know that’s impossible. I’m a person that think knowledge is power so I did my research and thanks to that I felt “prepared” for what my neurologist later explained to me. But limit yourself don’t just loose yourself in it. If that makes sense. I would recommend doing things that makes you feel good. Things like go for a nature walk or make yummy food or pamper yourself as much as possible to distract yourself. It gets easier ❤️ I’m here for you
My son's waist went numb so he went to the ER. They scanned him and found out he had lesions on the back of his eye, neck and brain. He lost his vision in one eye 4 years prior. They called in a neurologist and diagnosed him with MS.
Thank you SO much for sharing. You did hreat and got everything across. Im just waoting for a confirmation from the neurologist for confirmation of MS from a lumbar puncture. MRI ses to indicate it is MS. Hearing yiur story is really helpful.
I know you must be scared and feeling all kinds of emotions. I’m thinking of you and all I can say is that it gets easier. The unknown is the worst. 🧡 much love
@@LiiBorossy thank you, I really appreciate you replying to me. It can be scary but like you say the unknown is worse than knowing what you're up against. Really good for me and my husband to know it gets easier. Bless you for your concern and support xx
@@RHM707 of course! I care about you guys. 😊
Hi, I'm an Australian female aged 60. I've written down all of your symptoms as I've thought if my symptoms match, newly subscribed, I have all symptoms and I am going for an MRI. I HAVEN'T had a spinal tap before and I'm scared of the prospect of the possibility I'll be asked to get one. I've had some of the symptoms since I was a child. I'd remembered that I had to use a chair to lean on to do the washing up. My leg or both legs would go numb. In the times we were in lockdown when covid was here, I got a Frozen shoulder in my right arm and the beginning of bone on bone in my shoulders and collarbone hurt. I had it for 3 years and about 4 months. My arm and shoulder still hurts. But different from the frozen type. I'm terribly tired and weak. I'm 60 years old. I have trouble walking and sometimes balance. I use a walking stick. Out in the garden I use a walker/seat. Our property is sloapping. IT'S hard to go up or down the land and stairs. My left arm has been hurting this year and it doesn't go away much now.
My other symptoms is numbness, pain in my arches /feet and sore toes. I bruise easily, I tend to loose feeling in either legs, toes, tongue and bottom lip. I've had a sore jaw at times. A sharp pain in my body like lightning. Dry skin, my arms felt separated from the shoulder bones during my frozen shoulder.....like they were ripped off and gone down the road. I have trouble typing, and trouble thinking of words when in a conversation. Thanks for the info on the video.
It sounds like a lot. I’m sorry you are struggling. I hope that you will get some answers soon and with that relief.
Sending you a big hug. ❤️
I suffer with restless leg syndrome. It's not easy so I know the situation. ❤🌼
I’m sorry it can be so difficult at times. Do you get it more in the evening? For me that’s usually the case. Much love ❤️
Gnesium and magnesium pills ,food and magnesium spray on legs
I have it as well. I'm also told it's MS related (at least in my case). I take Mg both pills and spray and it works only a little for me. I think what that helps with is my legs and feet cramping easily, specially when I stretch in bed. The retless leg is also in the evening for me, mostly when going to bed. However, I'm on a medication that works VERY well. It's called Ropinarole. It says "three times a day" but not being a big fan of drugs, I take a full 1mg pill around 20 minutes of going bed, but I break a pill in half and take it at around 5-6 pm. Not because I feel restless at that time, but because it ensures the nighttime dosage is strenghen enough to get me through the night. It's worked so far. I'm a software engineer by trade so debugging, even self-dbugging in kinda in my nature :). If you've never heard of this drug, tell your doc about it cause unlike a lot of other shit out there, this one works tremendously well.
Where my hip and spine meet is constant burning pain down to my feet!
I’m sorry! 😣
A thin veil over like half of my eye and peripheral vision. I could see but almost like a thin curtain hanging on the side.
Me too!!
Hi lil I'm currently under investigation
I started getting symptoms a year after pregnancy
Your symptoms sound identical with balance and weakness fatigue
One arm weakness and pain and spinal pain and stiffness
Misconception of space so I've lots of falls and brain zaps
I know something is up
My rheumatologist is referring Me for a Mri
Vision is flashing and a shadow and a constant headache at the back of my head
My symptoms are definitely worrying me
I often drop plates and burn myself without noticing
Ive lost most feeling in my feet
I'm glad you finally got a diagnosis
That’s a lot. I pray you get some answers soon and can get the help you need. 🙏🏼❤️
Do u have dizziness all the time like head is speening can't focus. headache pressure type balance problem. tingling burning sensations on body parts like hands arms n feet ???
Sometimes yes. All the above.. my dizziness is not constant thank goodness. If these are your symptoms I would recommend you talking to a doctor. I send you all the love and strength.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been having similar symptoms and have been worried about MS. My MRI is tomorrow and I’m anxious to know what’s wrong.
Hi Jodi, the unknown is sometimes worse. Just take one step at a time and one moment at a time. You got this. We are all here for you. You are not alone. ❤️❤️🩹

I have had MS for 8 years.I am on ocrevus .still okay go with the flow
Wonderful to hear 😊🙏🏼
Thanks for the info. Diagnosed in 2019 - taking Ocrevus every 6 months. I recently started a potassium channel blocker that really help my gait and my restless leg symptoms - dalfampridine. Oral - twice a day and inexpensive. Hope you find relief for the arm pain. Gabapentin did nothing for my symptoms
Thank you for sharing! I have some alternative medicine coming that I will be staying soon and hopefully it will help.🙏🏼
I have chronic pain. Previously diagnosed with fibromyalgia but currently being tested for MS. I get a "pinch" in my shoulder that causes pain all down my arm. I have my wife give me shoulder and neck massages for about an hour almost every day to manage pain and she can get that pain to alleviate. It's a next day thing. But that's still better than it persisting. Have you done regular deep tissue shoulder massages to treat the arm pain?
First of all I’m sorry you are having pains. I hope you get answers soon. I’ve tried everything. My pain in my left arm is just not going away. It’s constant and no matter pain relief I try it’s just not helping.
@@LiiBorossy I'm really sorry about that.
@@thenerdgirl1 thank you. I hope you are feeling better 🙏🏼❤️
@@thenerdgirl1 when you were diagnosed with fm did you have mri that time ? I have a lot of Ms symptoms I did mri and came back clean and dr telling me it’s fm but I’m scared I have Ms !
@@haninshuaib7289 I did. And many x-rays. All clean.
You’re so beautiful and you’re gonna be OK
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Hi my name is Angie my pain Dr. Order a mri that came back with things one was ms what test do they do to determine ms
Hi Angela, depending on what county you live the tests vary slightly. But usually they need to make various blood tests, MRI and a spinal tap to determine if you have Multiple Sclerosis. Medical history and neurological examination will also be part of the testing.
Take care my friend xx
Im just waiting for results on my mri scan how long did u wait for mri results on brain ? Do u get a burning sensation? My hands and feet buzz and throb
Hi 😊
I’m sorry for what you are going through. It’s a scary time not knowing what will happen and what the results will be. I send you my strength and love.
I can’t tell you how fast I got the MRI results because I never went to the neurologist after. (Completely in denial and did not want to see one). I share what happened in my video.
Yes I do experience a burning sensation as well as a feeling of ice cold. It can happen on its own or simultaneously in the hands, feet, legs, arms and as well as the top of my head in my case.
Hello, thank you for posting this video.
Just diagnosed on my birthday last year, I understand you. I am trying to begin my DMT very soon..
I’m sorry, and on your birthday as well! 😨 I send you all my love and strength. How are you doing now? Have you chosen a DMT yet?
I wish you all the best on your birthday this year, enjoy your birthday party and sorry I can't talk. Enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching and making me feel less alone on my journey. ❤️
Do you have breast implants by any chance? Pardon for asking but sometimes breast implants have causes MS symptoms
Actually yes. I wasn’t going to answer this but I don’t think I have anything to hide at this point. 😅 I’ve had mine for the past 15 years.
Do you need to have a brain MRI with contrast to be able to detect MS? I'm having similar symptoms to yours but I'm too afraid to do an MRI with contrast as I've heard you can have bad effects from contrast.
I have had many MRI’s with and without contrast by now. My first one was a nightmare because I did not know what to expect. But I think the more you have them you get use to it. It’s not the most fun experience but you will be ok! The contrast have been fine. I get tingly in my face for a bit but that’s about it. And I make sure to drink a lot of water after! That helps. Have you had any other tests done?
@@LiiBorossy Thank you for the reply. I have not had any tests yet but will be having them soon. I'm still in the first stage of talking to my doctor about symptoms so first I have to get my bloodwork out of the way in order to rule out stuff then after that is when the doctor will say what tests he thinks should be done.
@@LeeHanDSOME_BoyNextDoor I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get the help you need. If you have any other questions I’m happy to answer. Take care
I'm sorry you are going through so much...thank you for sharing. I also want suggest you listen to Dr. Peter Osborne. He is a molecular biologist here on TH-cam. Have you been genetically tested for gluten intolerance? This is something you may wish to look into. Take care and God bless.
Thank you for your tips! I know that I have gluten intolerance and I’m sensitive to lactose. I try to stay away from both. 🙂
I will check out his channel. Have a wonderful day!!
Do all your aymptoms for the most part come and go? If not which ones have not gone away?
Hi! Good question. I have a few symptoms that are permanent, I have severe pain in my left arm and shoulder, reduced vision field, numbness and complete loss of sensation in the backside of my legs.. and other symptoms come and go. I’m sure I forgot something.😅 How about you?
I didn't watch the video but just in case, look at fat soluble vitamin B1 Benfotiamine and TTFD - lectures by Elliot Overton!
I know someone that had ms and she brest feed and it help her and after that she pumped it till she had no more
This gives me mixed feelings. I always felt and said that when I was pregnant/breastfeeding I have never felt better mentally or physically. I just never knew why.. I can understand why she would have wanted to pump for as long as possible.
Keep working out. Exercise is key.
See a holistic Dr. see what they say, what they suggest. Praying for you.
I thought I always had a lazy eye but I guess it is ms symptom too
Be very well ❤
Followed.
Thank you so much ☺️ same to you
Do you ever feel like it’s rain drops on your head then next day get a migraine……?…..?????
I can’t say that I have but I do get migraines often and when I do I loose vision and I get very nauseous and sometimes the pressure in my bed feels like my teeth will fall out from it.🥺 Do you suffer from migraines?
I give up smiling, for walking again. I really wish I could walk. ONE day at a Time.
Everyday, will dictate your day.
M. S. Has been institutionalized, I Have a neice Sibling of father. And, I found out I have multiple Burn-outs,and I was talking to my Doctor, and said, how can you not say it's hereditary . But, like he said, there's no facts, covering my brain. Black.
Spots, all over. My
Brain. I am well aware of my problem, but, I have been dealing with this problem, for years. M.S., needs to be accepted, but, with double vision, starts to tell you, there is a problem. I knew this for years and went to work. Even during flare ups, while working. Trucking and loading trucks. And, when I worked in pain. I just worked.
I relate with you.. I just work.. No matter what.🥺 But I’m sorry for everything you are going trough. I send you all my love and strength. ❤️

MS is one of the bad diseases to have, because the Pathophysiology of it is unknown, and it could be heterogenous group of diseases manifested phenotypically as MS. Current treatments are only directed to reduce immune cells attack to neurons and their supporting cells (ODCs). These treatments sometimes can not stop attacks though, due to disease provocation to B and T lymphocyte, and disability will progress no matter what you do and follow. Early treatment is a must despite all these negative things. Oh and last the treatment despite not a guarantee to end it, it will end the money in your pocket!! So get insurance and be rich of course
Vitamin D.
Yep! Taking it daily since I got diagnosed. 🤗
Trap nerve? Do you mean pinched nerve
Omg yes😅
@@LiiBorossy oh k I pray u get better
@@mistyknights8624 thank you 🙏🏼
Same differents
Doctors Alonso call it trapped nerve , trust me I’ve been with doctors that call it like that .
Have you tried a strict diet? Absolutely no sugar. Lots of root vegetables
Hi! Sorry I haven’t seen your comment before. I was on the best bet diet for about 5 months. But I found I could not get enough kcal in. I was starting to loose my hair and I realized that following their guidelines but not restricting me of everything was the way to go for me. We need to find balance in everything I feel. 😊
@@LiiBorossy yes, so true. Eat well and eat enough to keep your energy and mental wellbeing. Just no junk food, no sugar. Lots of normal food, proteins and healthy full fat food.
I went to ketovore/paleo and after 5 months my disabling fatique started to lift. I am able to go for walks again and clean my house. It is AMAZING what a diet can do! I agree, sugar is the enemy number 1 with any condition or illness!
Dairy is really bad because of a protein that causes problems I don't know why but people can't digest it properly.
seems you are still very anxious, yoga and deep breathing could help......
