Hello everyone

I’ve just joined this site today. Over the past year I’ve been experiencing symptoms that could be linked to ms such as feeling very fatigued, digestive problems, dizzy spells. The past few weeks I’ve been having numbness in my arms and legs which has particularly flared up today. Its starting to affect my mental health big time as I’m not sleeping well at nights worrying that it could be something more serious. I’m curious to know how your ms was diagnosed and what sort of symptoms did you have
@MMilly

Wasn't sure when you started with the first 3 symptoms but paired with the numbness makes me think you might have MS too. Not sure what your healthcare insurance is like, but a doctor would be able to do a full work-up to help you confirm a diagnosis. Mine started over 10 years ago with numbness that got worse over time and I knew something wasn't right. Only you know your body and what's not right so keep us posted.

Hi @fran1996, I know it’s easier said than done but try not to worry. Get in touch with your GP so it can be investigated. I started out with altered sensations in my arm and leg - that was my main symptom along with fatigue. However, I was tested for other things as neither the doctor or the neurologist first thought it was actually MS.
