Waiting on results…

I just wanted to ask, did anyone else around the time of their initial diagnosis/investigative period find themselves hearing of symptoms from actual people with MS and thinking “my god that’s ME!”. I’ve 100% had Lhermitte’s, I even spoke to my GP at the start of this year to let him know that I get an odd feeling down the back of my legs when I tip my head forward, and he shrugged it off 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m just gathering my own information while I wait on my yes or no from the neuro, going to keep a symptoms diary now for sure 👏🏻

Totally. I began thinking back to experiences of health I had ignored. Mostly tingling/ pins and needles. MS hug. Memory loss etc etc. I think because symptoms “come and go” it is really easy to shrug it off, or ignore. I think it can be really hard to get a Drs appointment based on a symptom that happened last week. Really hard for us MSers to recognise ourselves, let alone convince medical practitioners. Really hard for us. I think we definitely deserve lots of TLC. Sending 🤗 to everyone.

By the way, a diary is a great idea. 👍
