Hello, I’m new here😃 I’m Callan and Im from Scotland. I have suffered with health issues mainly chronic pain since I was 15/16 years old. I was told I had fibromyalgia even when my symptoms worsened and I got more new bizarre symptoms I was reassured it was fibromyalgia and told to ‘stop searching for answers’. 🫣 Fast forward to now. I am now 24 years old and due to me begging for a brain scan as a last resort to see what’s wrong with me they have now suddenly found quite a lot of inflammation/demylenation ( I think that’s how I spell it!) so the neurologist strongly thinks I have MS due to my MRI and all my crazy symptoms. I had a lumbar puncture last week and I am waiting on my results 🫣 I would now describe myself as disabled. This past year especially has been awful with excruciating pain, bad balance, vision troubles and many other weird symptoms I struggle to now stand and walk. When I can walk I use the help of a walking stick which feels strange as a 24 year old who before would be out and about living life and partying 😂 I feel like abit of a granny but I would never judge anyone else for a mobility aid so I’m trying to stop beating myself up. I’d love to hear if anyone has any advice or words of wisdom for someone awaiting a diagnosis. 🥰 I’m also curious to how they determine what type of MS you have? This is something I want to find out hopefully asap for myself. Thanks everyone 🩷
