@Hey everyone, I’m Bigg Kenn. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a couple weeks ago after going to the doctor for vision loss in my right eye caused by optic neuritis. It’s been a scary and emotional adjustment, and after about 2 weeks my vision has only slightly improved. I’m still learning about MS and what this journey looks like for me, so I joined this app looking for support, advice, and connection with people who understand what this feels like. 🙏🏾 on Shift.ms

Hey bigg kenn I'm liah. I was diagnosed last October after seeing a neurologist for headaches. Did my MRI an spinal tap.(Which was horrible) I'm 33 single mom an still learnin myself I have started having problems with my sight and always had problems with numbness or my legs giving out. I joined shortly after diagnosed. And I find comfort in this app. When I feel hopeless and like no one around me understands i know I can get on here because we all get it. It can be kind of hard to explain to people what you deal with having MS. Feel free to reach out if u ever wanna just talk/vent

Hi there. I also was diagnosed right after getting ON in my left eye. I was on steroids for a few days and my eyesight came back within a month I believe, I can’t exactly remember. But it was a scary process for me, lots of docs appointments and a few tests. I don’t think it really sunk in when I was told. Not until a few appointments later when they kept telling me what had happened. Good luck with your journey.
