Newly diagnosed and ruminating

Hi! Recently diagnosed after a seizure. It was a total shock. Do have sensory symptoms, brain fog and fatigue which have been going on for about 2 years but I thought were menopause symptoms. On reflection, there were 2 incidents of enuresis about 5 years ago that I explained away at the time as being stress related. Now I'm wondering. I suppose it doesn't matter I the grand scheme of things but I just wondered if anyone else had any similar experiences. Thanks!

Yes, newly diagnosed (officially in February) at only 31 and the brain fog is real. Drives me crazy. My bladder urgency is uncomfortable to say the least. I have to be careful as a teacher because I can’t just up and leave my class full of kids to use the bathroom. This has all been a trip to say the least.

Thanks @Ematt0426. That sounds really difficult to manage especially at work. I'm not noticing symptoms currently but on looking back think now that those 2 episodes of enuresis were likely MS related. They were 6/7 years ago, I forgot about it and didn't go to doctor at the time. Also totally denied any bladder issues ever when I saw the neurologist in March this year (!). Probably doesn't really matter now as I'm already on DMT anyway. Just funny how we can explain away strange things and forget about them. Hope you are doing OK.
