Hello
Hello all, I was recently diagnosed with MS and I’m still trying to come to terms with it. Been a very active person for the last 10 years, then a few years ago i noticed a weakness in my right leg, but mainly on very long runs. I then became less active as developed plantar fasciitis, for about 2 years and couldn’t shake it. Eventually I built up the runs again but repeatedly tripped. I’ve always been accident prone as I mainly run trail so more tripping hazards. A good few months later my leg started getting worse. It was Xmas 2023. I went on a walk that was 13 miles. By mile 10 my leg completely went on me and I had to assist it by pulling on my leggings at my knee to lift it. Over this past year that’s progressed massively. Sometimes it can do that on a 2 mile walk. I still try to get out and hike if I can but the distance is rapidly reducing. Experiencing more dizziness and wobbly legs day to day. It’s breaking me if I’m honest. My appointment has come through for an appointment with neuroinflamation clinic at the end of the month. I’ve researched loads which is why I think I’m now taking it all badly as just keep thinking about the future. I was strangely relieved when I was first told as I’ve spent the best part of a year and a half trying to find the cause and seen various osteo’s, a chiropractor, a physio, hired a pt etc. but was getting no where. So even though it wasn’t the diagnoses i wanted I went with positivity and looked into anti inflammatory diets, Vitamins, Exercise. Etc. but I’m having a tough week and it’s all getting on top of me. Sorry for the long post. If anyone has any advice or tips for my first appointment please share. I’m not sure what to expect. As was just told they’ll refer me for meds. I’m UK based
Thank you
Hi I had the bomb dropped on me last Wednesday just received the letter today that I have RRMS. Still waiting for a ms nurse to contact me . My only symptom was optic neuritis in June which has now resolved . I’m scared anxious and absolutely no idea what to expect . I’m only a message away if you went to connect xx
