    Diagnosed 2yrs ago. Please if u have not been diagnosed try not to diagnose yourself. This is a terrible disease to have. I most definitely wouldn't want to say i got this before a Dr told me i did. Just want everyone to know that this aint even what u want to think about before its been put on medical records. Prayers up for allšŸ™šŸ¾!
  • I suffered from this illness for more than 6 years..worst nightmare of my life, the never ending fatigue, weakness, blindness, muscle spasms, and other symptoms of this disease. my doctor told me that i will suffer lifetime paralysis and total blindness of my both eyes but still God is the best healer with His miracle i recovered. no more symptoms of MS and even my right eye has a vision already. for almost 1yr now i can say that my life has never been better since the day i discovered a supplement that God has given me. i am living a normal life without pain and suffering. praying for all of you that you will be an MS survivor just like me. just pray to God and he will extend HIS healing hands to all of you.

    What a sad sad sad disease. I watched my dad SUFFER growing up. He lost his battle at the age of 60. I was 24. I watched him have so many seizures he wouldn't wake up. Doctors couldn't stop it. I watched him struggle to do small things... man.
  • Mobility can be regained. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    Please donā€™t auto-diagnose yourself through a YouTube video, even if ā€œmedicalā€ or from professionals. I got diagnosed in February 2023. Itā€™s not a disease you even think about. You always think itā€™s something simple, something different, something less serious. As cliche as it sounds, it always happens to someone else, never to YOU. And itā€™s not a disease you want to have. Itā€™s heavy, itā€™s painful, itā€™s time consuming, it eats at your brain both literally and figuratively. Whenever your hand shakes your first thought is ā€œis it because of MS?ā€ and whenever you stumble your first thought is ā€œis it because of MS?ā€ and whenever you canā€™t swallow properly you think ā€œis it because of MS?ā€ You live half of your life wondering what symptoms are MS symptoms and what tiredness is MS tiredness and what pain is MS pain and what anxiety is MS anxiety. Ask for proper care at medical facilities. And stay strong.
  • I got my MS in 2016 While I was active duty Army still. I re-enlisted earlier that year but after that my body started acting weird. But I was still trying to be a strong leader but the symptoms were kickin my @$s and ppl thought I was making stuff up. But after the third test, the spinal tap it was confirmed that I had MS

    I have all of these symptoms, including lesions on my brain. I had a lumbar puncture 8 months ago, and no proteins were found in my cerebrospinal fluid. Iā€™ve also been tested for other diseases that share same symptoms of MS. I have been suffering with daily pain, stiffness, fatigue, and pins & needles feeling in my left leg and now left arm for over a year now. No diagnosis yet! Doctors say I am a mystery. Iā€™m very frustrated!

  • Tingling doesnt always go ..nor pains . Then theres other diagnosis that keads elsewhere first then to recheck sclerosis..

    Iā€™m 44yrs old & Iā€™ve been having all the warning signs for MS. My husband pointed it out bc his friend has and she had said all these plus more, my vision going blurry all of a sudden, dizziness, tingling in extremities that comes and goes, headaches, memory, anxious but more like heart palpitations even though I take anxiety meds, heart palpitations when lying down or resting, pain, extreme fatigue and more. I did have a recent blood test and I am deficient in vitamin D & B12, plus I have Streptococcal arthritis of multiple sites from a strep infection that I didnā€™t have any symptoms from. Iā€™m also diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I have degenerative disc disease, nerve damage in my spine, endometriosis, osteoporosis, cervical arthritis, depression and anxiety. With all that being said my memory has gotten worse over the last 2 months and all the symptoms I wrote at the beginning are either new or worsening. Believe me i donā€™t want another diagnosis on my already big list, but itā€™s still something to consider. Iā€™m going to take the antibiotics for the infection and the vitamins and if Iā€™m not feeling a different soon or they worsen Iā€™ll go to ER or my doctor.

    My first symptom back in 1990 what is the difficulty swallowing. Food we just get hung in the middle of my esophagus and it would just start spasming top to bottom and I'd be and I'd be salivating feeling like I'm going to suffocate. And over the years it kind of went away
  • @JahoSelamaj

    I hope the sle lupus I have isn't causing me to get it, I have some of the symptoms with tiredness and brain fog with weird eye pains when I move my eyes sometimes, the lupus causes me to have fevers a lot with headaches I have a lesion forming on my spine I get a burning sensation in my legs with some tingling in my feet I feel like I weigh a ton and can't move it takes me time to get up sometimes if I'm flaring bad. The lupus is attacking my lungs it's caused me to lose both thyroid glands.
  • They checked me through a lumbar puncture. I was clear of MS. Basically, i have CLL. I had alot of these symptoms. Anyway, im still monitored at the cancer center every 3 - 4 months watching for any changes on my cells. Still no chemo ect. Was anemic and had iron transfusion. Stay in watch and wait till a change is noted to start chemo or something. Fatigue and other symptoms i manage oksy. This was diagnosed in 2016.
