Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone, i’m newly diagnosed. I have yet to even see neurology outpatient. I went into the ER thinking I was having a stroke and my MRI results showed a different story. They did a spinal tap so I’m waiting for those results to come back. I’m here because I’m not really Sure what to expect with this diagnosis apparently, I have shown over the course of a year and a half to my family who lives with me a slight steady decline memory speech, dropping things falling down the stairs and now here we are I am currently have joint pain in my hips. I’m not able to close my right eye and open my left eye. My speech is still kind of slow and slurred and have a lot of pressure in the face of my skull and of course my walking is unsteady and I don’t know if any of these are MS related or if it’s just me being me my brain going off the deep end, but I’d love to connect with everyone so I’m not alone in this
I understand what you’re saying and you’re thinking the nerve damage is something else. If you go to YouTube, you can watch MS videos that talk about MS issues and all the names for everything and it gives doctors advice and it gives medicine advice just be cautious. There’s so many people that say they’ve held naturally that’s a lie and even people that have written books and diet books have had specialty expensive work done on them before doing their diet box from all the studying I’ve been doing there’s no 100%. I’ve taken away MS or stop being the progression of it but you’re still functioning you’re still able to communicate and you have family to help you those are all major bonuses. I would say for sure. Try to handle your diet first. It makes a big difference. Don’t eat sugars. Don’t eat bread, unhealthy bread, easy on your salt, the more fruits and vegetables you eat the better. You are a lot of people take vitamins vitamin D with K2 some take vitamin E a lot of people like vitamin C or eat a lot of oranges. There’s just all kinds of treatments the more YouTube videos you watch the more you’ll learn and there’s lots of people that help on here as well so it’s a sad diagnosis, but it’s just part of this life journey. Damn lame is what I named my MS. 💝
I concur with mondaygirl22. I firmly believe a balanced approach to ms gives us a fighting chance- dmt, health eating, no smoking or alcohol, exercise and meditation or exercises to relax ur mind.. stress makes ur ms symptoms worse. Most of what you mentioned sounds like ms symptoms. Not sure on the hip joint pain. you might want to see an ophthalmologist for the eye issue? Especially if u are unable to see clearly out of one eye. That could be optic neuritis. Next time u see your doctor, you could ask for a few rounds of 1000 mg iv steroids for the inflammation. Getting diagnosed is not the end of the world but rather confirmation/explanation of your symptoms. If indeed u have ms, i would reccomend you find a neurologist who specializes in ms. I wish you all the best in your journey.
