Trying to get diagnosed. Long post
Abit of background… i started have problems with my right leg & arm in early 2017 i had an Mri scan which showed lesions on my spine & brain the consultant said it was down to stress and would work its self out which it did fast forward to 2021 (husband left) my symptoms started again but worse i feel like my right leg is a peg leg it is always straight i walk with a limp, lose my balance and have fell down the stairs & fell over in the road (luckily no cars)my right arm has no strength in it cant open jars, play pool with my daughter, cant run after my youngest daughter had another mri scan in june 2022 to be told the spots are the same there is no more i have a new consultant from 2017 and he mentioned Ms which then scared me i have a app 16th January but i feel lose and alone 😔
Thanks for reading sorry about the rant xx
I’m not a medical professional so can’t offer an opinion on what I think but I will say that you’re definitely not alone. I was diagnosed in September 2021 and it was such a relief when I did but I also felt alone because I didn’t know anyone else that had it. I found shift.ms and found a friend that lives the other side of the world to me but we have similar experiences and it’s been amazing to have someone to speak to that knows what I’m going through first hand. This website is such a useful tool to have. I really hope that they figure out what’s going on with you and can help you. Never be scared to reach out if you ever have any worries or want someone to just chat to that knows how you’re feeling! Xx
