I'm a brand new member here, and even if I end up not having MS I feel the most seen by Ms patients because of my symptoms so hopefully you all can give me wisdom. My whole life I have known there was something physically off about me. I couldn't do activities other kids could, random pains no one took seriously, digestive issues, balance problems, and dizziness. It would come and go but after puberty, it was much more common. Once again, was never taken seriously. Through adulthood I slowly have been progressing worse but had learned to manage most of it. At the end of March, beginning of April 2024 I very rapidly declined. I suddenly developed major symptoms such as AFib, tachycardia, bradycardia, rapid weight loss, muscle weakness, extreme fatigue, syncope, intolerance to both heat and cold, extreme food aversion, and the list goes on. Every bodily function is inflamed and not functioning properly.. I have had extensive testing, hundreds of blood draws, hormone testing, thyroid tests, sleep tests, CT scans, MRIs.. Every test comes back "perfect". Outside of the obvious dysfunction going on physically. My doctor's are officially starting to look scared of me when I walk in the building lol. They have told me that they are completely dumbfounded and hope that by sending me off to a teaching college, I may receive answers one day. My first appointment with the college hospital will be June 2025. So in the meantime, how in the world do you guys not become cynical, and angry? How do you find the strength to keep pushing through your days? I feel like I'm barely holding on to my life and I have very very limited resources for assistance.. any advice would be incredible. Or even just to feel seen by someone else who had years of testing before a diagnosis? Are there secrets to talking to your doctors? Are there secrets to managing symptoms?
