Hi everyone!

Let me just say that I was really surprised by my own reaction while unravelling this story. It's been just over a year and I didn't think I'd react this way given how chill I am about my MS in general... but there you go!

If you are someone who is currently going through the diagnosis process or you know someone who is, I really hope this video helps you in some way. Please know that you are not alone! And please don't pressure yourself into being okay or convince yourself that you're being too sensitive. This is BIG. But like I said, you're not alone.

My DMs and messages are always open. If you ever have any questions or need someone to talk to, please reach out! You can even Whatsapp me (number below)

    I am so envious you were able to get an MRI so soon. I have been fighting for an MRI for what feels like forever. I've only just been referred to a neurologist, and god knows how long it will take after reading my referral letter 😞
  • Thank God for that doctor. He possibly saved your eyesight, as well as got infront of a debilitating, crippling disease.

    Thank you for sharing! We’re all here with you. 🧡
  • @assermahran
    I can’t even begin to imagine the horror of dealing with that doctor.. it must have been even more overwhelming than you described. You’re really strong for sharing this, I hope it helps people; I know that’s why you’re posting this in the first place ❤️
  • Thanks for this video, I was diagnosed 10 years ago and I remember this stuff too! Learning you have MS is terrible and I think you've handled it very well. I've been a self-help group leader back in my city, I was diagnosed while working in Dallas. I love your accent and your attitude towards it all. Congratulations on your engagement, sorry you lost your kitty!
  • @Sabssfitness
    I admire and love you Malak, you are so freakin strong for everything you’ve overcome. I can’t imagine going through such a stressful experience, honestly so proud of you and you sharing this is going to help so many people ❤️
  • Thank you so much for sharing your diagnosis story! It helps even though I've had MS for over 10 years now. Wishing you all the best & keep going strong, you're amazing!
  • @roberture5903
    Thank you for sharing your story, you are brave young lady to deal with everything you've been dealing with, my hat's off to you. God bless you.
  • @SpencersMSStory
    I'm happy to have found your channel ... and great to hear the textures of your story. Crazy disease for sure! Be well
  • @Asagai
    Been looking for you videos for the longest time! I hope you and your family lol.

    Thank you for sharing your story ❤️ it's not an easy thing to go through or go over the experience of everything that comes with it - seriously, thank you. Currently been experiencing the first solid flare-up since my diagnosis and have been nervous of going in. Hearing your experience is helping to give me the courage to go get checked out and see if it's time for DMD's/DMT's. Sending much appreciation and gratitude your way 🤗

    Thank you for sharing this ❤..btw you are so gorgeous!
  • Thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed 5 years ago but symptoms go back to my mid 20’s. I’m 48 now. Always, always take the best care of yourself. Stay strong.

    Hello Malak, I’d like to thank you so much for sharing your diagnosis story. It’s really unfortunate that you had the experience you did. I’ve been struggling with a number of health issues over the years and can relate. While there are many fantastic Drs out there with great bedside mannerisms, there are also many whom are just the opposite. It makes you wonder why they got into that line of work and have they always been this way? Or did they somehow become desensitized and grumpy over the years and forget the reason they decided to “help” people. Nonetheless, while I’m not glad how you were initially diagnosed and what you were diagnosed with, I am glad you did get a diagnosis and fairly early on. For me it took a number of Drs, tests and quite some time before I was diagnosed w/ Crohn’s (I also have a side of fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and a couple other issues) which was rather frustrating to say the least. And throughout this experience I met many a cold hearted Dr. As crap as it was to get the news, I was also relieved, yet after all of that I went into a bit of a denial process. I’m happy to say after a few painful years including an emergency bowel resection, almost dying from a massive pulmonary embolism @ 15cm across into both lungs, and yet another resection for a fistula that popped out through my gut, I’m thankful to say I’m still alive and in remission from Crohn’s! While looking through your posts, I noticed you haven’t posted in about a year and I’m hoping that it’s only because life just got too busy for you and not because you’re too unwell to continue with your channel. You have a wonderful way of sharing your experiences and telling your story—I think if you are able to and still interested and willing, you should pick things up where you left off and continue to share your story with us. By now you may have married and if so, congratulations! ❤🎉 I wish you all the best with your health and endeavours. May God continue to bless you in your life. 🙏🏻🫶🏻💖💫

    Wow such a brave and moving story! My heart definitely goes out to you for those inconsiderate doctors who really shouldn't be doctors acting like that to patients, along with the stress you were dealing with. I am in the process of being diagnosed. I'm waiting to see a neurologist on May 18. I have a slew of symptoms (too many to list along with a previous attack in 2016 that a neurologist didn't take seriously) and currently having an attack since March with no break of symptoms. I'm convinced in my heart that I do have MS. I don't know anyone in my family who has it so I'm a bit confused of the cause. I'm a bit scared for the MRI and I have really bad anxiety ( have been hospitalized more than once). My prayers go to you for being a brave warrior and finding the right treatment for you🙏😄
  • ty for your story ..... its so crazy how apathetic docs can be when it comes to multiple sclerosis as they dont get the satisfaction of saying your better now ..... i like you also dont stand for minimal info .... i need to know i will be fine but i wont if I'm left in the dark it sill make me snap ....... i hope your doing better agebn ty for your story .... me my mom and both my older sisters have ms its a hard road
  • @n_s7525
    Thank you for sharing! I felt the same way . I have NMO & my dad is a doctor too :) Trying to find your medication video & also if you can share how you managed yourself ? like did you seek therapy or any other things to accept this, please do share . Thanks again !
  • I was in the ER 2 weeks ago for this stuff. I did a 90 minute MRI for brain and entire spine. I did the spinal tap and a ton of blood tests the next day. The neurologist wanted me to stay for another 5 days to see how I reacted to taking 5 doses of steroids. I had the same reaction and thought it was ridiculous to stay that long but they let me go that night. They said I had dormant demyelination in the brain but active demyelination in the spine. I didn't even know about the o-bands and proteins from the spinal tap until watching this. I'm curious to hear what treatments worked for you. My symptoms are weak legs, numbness on left side, and horrible balance.
