Finding Support: Living with MS and RA

I pretty much just insisted that i get an MRI which is how they diagnosed so if i just advocated for myself because i wasnt getting answers

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

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.

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?
