Experiencing A Severe Multiple Sclerosis Relapse
2,326
Published 2020-06-06
I had three Multiple Sclerosis relapses in the space of 2 months and with each relapse, my symptoms were getting worse each time. This third relapse was the worst yet. It left me with no use of my hands, no co-ordination of walking, balance problems, the MS hug, Lhermitte's, and caused me anxiety.
A relapse is defined by the appearance of new symptoms or the return of old symptoms. They can vary from being being mild to severe and at their worst may need hospital treatment
I want to share my experience with my relapse because as severe as it was and however difficult it was to get through those 4 months, there was light at the end of the tunnel and I want others to know that being positive is an extremely important part of the recovery process.

Thank you Laura. This World of MS is so unpredictable and mind boggling. I was diagnosed with MS in 2007. I"ve dealt with a few relapses and am now recovering from a recent relapse. Because of Covid 19 my neurologist was not comfortable with sending me to the hospital for steroid treatment. this caused me to have to take 25 steroid pills per day.This has been the worst relapse yet for me, it seems to be getting worse instead of improving. When i think I'm much better my body says I'm not. Sometimes my family doesn't understand because i don't look sick, but it's such a chore to do simple things. My body feels like lead which is so difficult to explain. This is so frustrating and i"m finding myself falling into depression at times. Thank you for sharing you similar story. It lets me know i'm not alone and that there is hope.

Thanks Laura. I am going through my first relapse, well maybe my second really. I was diagnosed Sept 2022 so this is all kinda new to me. Didn't even understand what has been happening until a couple of days ago, just didn't know what a relapse was or is to even realize I was going through it. So thank you for expressing that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

this one, I'm replaying for the umpteen time ⚓🎬🎬🙏. the beginning part of being diagnosed is like, whoooooaaaaa. It's like I tell everyone I know, "I'm getting used to a 'new body'... we learn to 'listen' to our bodies, simply b/c it's not a choice anymore. Your videos do help, thank you!! 💪📌
