Hello 👋 everyone I have just joined as I really feel I need to connect with other people with MS. I'm April/May I had headaches, brain fog and some disorientation for a few weeks. Then one morning I lost sensation and touch on the left side of my face, arm and leg. My vision was blurry and I was incredibly disorientated. I called 111 who sent an ambulance immediately. They were initially concerned it was a stroke but after two MRIs on my brain they found multiple lesions... I spent 9 days in hospital before being discharged and my life has been turnt upside down. I have very little support and do not know where to go for it I kind of feel that I'm being ignored and left in limbo. I'm a single parent and up until this work full-time in a very stressful job. I had my follow up neurology appointment last Tuesday and was hoping for diagnosis or some answers but I had been booked into the wrong clinic. The neurologist I see is not a specialist in MS but has ordered a EEG, a nerve conductivity test, muscle conductivity test, follow up MRI SALT referrals for my swallowing (I choke often) and for my speech. Has anyone else had all the above tests? I have applied for PIP and a blue badge in May but still waiting decisions. Without financial support if I cannot work I do not know what we will do. Four doctors have told me it is looking like MS including the stroke doctor and the MS neurologist who I was supposed to see. It turns out I may have been having years of symptoms/flares of MS which until this latest flare were not picked up. Current symptoms include- Limited mobility - total numbness and loss of sensation RLS - I have had this a long time. Severe fatigue, Disorientation, Blurred vision, Severe pressure headache which goes into the top of the spine, Body aches, Itchy and tingly palms Choking Incontinence Insomnia at night, Severe Anxiety and Depression, Tremors, Clumsiness and lack of coordination, Brain fog Cognitive issues Sorry long message but I just wanted to know does everyone feel like they are left in limbo or should I be complaining? Any advice would be much appreciated 🙏 x
