First symptoms
Hi everyone! I'm Danielle. I am 23 years old and I live in Scotland. I am here because my health is declining rapidly and I'm in that state of limbo where they don't have answers but I am having horrible symptoms daily. I've done some research into MS and I'm not saying for sure that is what it is but it explains every symptom that I've been having. So my question to you lovely people is. What was your first symptoms of MS. What made you realise there was something wrong.
Thanks in advance😊
I woke up, opened my eyes and I was seeing double of everything. This got worse for a few days, lasted for 3-4 weeks and then went away again. This is the typical presentation of relapsing-remitting MS - having sudden visual problems / sudden limb weakness / sudden numbness/tingling that then either completely or partially resolves within weeks/months. Having horrible symptoms daily and declining rapidly, isn’t a typical first presentation of MS for someone in their twenties. There are variants where this can happen but they’re rare for a woman of your age. I’m definitely not saying you don’t have MS - only a clinical exam \ MRI +\- lumbar puncture will tell you that, but probably worth waiting for the MRI before investigating the condition further.
Poor vision in one eye. @dani23 do your symptoms get worse after a hot bath or shower?
