Looking for someone with MS to compare symptoms and share their story

I was diagnosed at 21 after going in for an mri due to headaches. I have ehlers danlos as well so I assumed my other issues like extreme fatigue and body pain were just from that, but alas! I had an MRI, lumbar puncture/spinal tap and lots of blood drawn to confirm it was MS

I was diagnosed with relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis at 26. We didn't have a clue that was coming. They originally thought that I had a stroke. My journey to diagnosis took the better part of one weekend. My mother took a lot longer for her diagnosis which was kind of an it can't be anything else so it must be MS. Which it was the early 90s and they did find plaques on her MRI.

Mine started with a seizure i believe, and just kept snowballing from there. Would love to chat 🤗

Well....I searched for more help after staring at a computer at work n "watching the letters move". I then was found to have optic neuritis.

I have MS. I have several things I deal with without mine. I'll be glad to chat

I lost feeling in my leg from knee down for 1 day!! Lots of tingling in legs and pain also chronic fatigue as well as misdiagnosis of fibro. See a MS specialist only! Not just a neurologist

I was diagnosed at 26. My first known symptoms were stroke symptoms. They put me in the hospital over a weekend. During the course of that weekend they decided it was MS. I got out of the hospital and still could barely walk. Now almost 17 years later I am still doing what I can.

I had numbness and tingling on the right side of my face, but everyone’s MS is different

The neurological symptoms that led to diagnosis— i had an episode where my speech slurred and I had a problem with my motor functioning, I couldn’t type. The MS diagnosis was unfortunately confirmed by both MRI and spinal tap/lumbar puncture. I also live with CFS/ME and these were new symptoms. First go with a neurologist didn’t go well, said it was ‘stress’ and I needed to just breathe more (!) I advocated for a good neurologist to do proper testing.

I had terrible fatigue! That was my main problem.
