Diagnosed
I feel like I was very lucky to be diagnosed in less than 6 months. How long did it take you? Or how long have you been trying to figure it out with doctors?

It took me 10+ years. I started seeking out medical care and ending up in the ER for various symptoms which I now know were likely the MS hug, optic neuritis and numbness and tingling that were MS related. I also started having memory issues and extreme fatugue at the same time that kept getting passed off as anxiety and stress.
I went to the eye doctor because I had blurred vision in my right eye. He asked me how long I had MS. I didn’t know I have MS. He sent me for an MRI the same day. I was immediately diagnosed with MS. That was 11 years ago.
