I read a blog entry on here about dealing with the MS diagnosis & imposter syndrome & it put into so many words what I've been feeling lately: https://shift.ms/blogs/ms-a-new-kind-of-imposter-syndrome Intially with my MS diagnosis I was struck with grief and denial, which has since subsided into a lesser form of denial & imposter syndrome. I mean, we detected the MS only because of a MRI preformed for a very persistent migraine w/ aura & since that intial migraine, I really haven't had any further symptoms other than one incidence of numbness in my right hand (which can be explained away due to the way I was leaning on it). So my mind then goes into questions like "Am I being a hypochondriac? Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Why am I fussing about? There's nothing visibly wrong with me or on physical examination beyond the imaging/lab results & I feel fine. I feel conflicted - on one hand, I understand the importance of treating it early but then I wonder, what if it's not full blown MS (just Clinically Isolated Syndrome) & doesn't get worse, am I making it a bigger deal than it is? I almost feel like I don't fit the MS diagnosis or really in the MS community because I'm not having any noticeable symptoms & don't appear/feel to be very sick? How have you dealt with your diagnosis & imposter syndrome if you've dealt with it?
