Hi Lauren, my name is Lauren as well! So sorry to hear about your diagnosis.. do you mind sharing your symptoms of MS to bring awareness?

No way! Nice to meet you 🤗 my main continuing symptom is fatigue. When I was having flare-ups, I had numbness/weakness in my legs, bladder retention, and really bad migraines. I’ve been told that migraines aren’t technically a sign of a flare up so I’m not totally sure. Although my neurologist is doing a great job maintaining that so I’m not in too much pain.

What did they do to diagnose you ? I’ve been getting numbness, weakness, uncontrollable muscle spasms, dizziness.. a lot of weird stuff but every time I get checked the doctor just says it’s anxiety
