Newly diagnosed support
Hi All,
Diagnosed after around 2 months of private testing, all started after what was supposed labyrinthitis [I was unable to move without vertigo, double vision, fatigue and completely hearing loss in left ear]
I then developed a hemifacial spasm in my left face which varies in severity, asked doctor for an MRI to see if this was all linked with the hearing and they found several brain lesions over both sides of my brain.
Luckily the hearing returned however, I was told last week i have MS but further testing needs to be done and I'll be referred from my neurologist to a MS specialist for futher diagnosis and so forth.
Any advice or guidance would be really appreciated😊
I also know it's early days but, I was planning on starting a family soon with my long term partner and would like advise on that also. - is this something I should wait for treatment to do?
Jasmine I've had a mess for 20 years newly diagnosed as many options now I had to have a spinal tap to determine and confirm that the vertigo I thought lost wheelchair was due to Ms took them couple of years to determine so in some sense they're getting their arms around as quickly
I won't give advice about giving birth and the medications but my girlfriend who had a mess would go in remission while pregnant and then get full-blown flare-ups after I would talk to the doctor and ask him all these questions I will keep you in prayer Jasmine you've got this Diana
