Symptoms
I’ve not had a 100% diagnosis yet, but I have been referred to the ms nurse to begin treatment after an mri showing lesions and my symptoms. I’m trying to get a grip on my mental health which has taken a rapid decline due to such lengthy waiting lists to get seen and treatment etc but my symptoms are pretty vertigo/balance based- I’m hoping to be put onto ocrevus, will this ease the symptoms? I can’t cook a meal, stand for longer than 5 minutes, walk for any period of time at the moment, without being sent into a mini vertigo attack and having to lay down to recover. I suppose I’m asking if there’s hope I’ll be able to do these things again?! 😞
Keep your HOPE and FAITH intact. I can only share that for me I had a period of several months of one distinct symptom during an attack…then followed by a very very slow development of a much more tolerable symptom. So your main concern is getting on treatment and giving it sufficient time to see how you feel. If these are sudden onset symptoms, I wonder if your doctor would prescribe you a course of the old fashioned steroid treatment. (I received this early in diagnosis). Might help. Worth asking. You must be very frustrated, understandably! Praying for everyone to have periods of relief. Back off MS, you stink!
