I've had MS for 10 years. I was diagnosed with a spinal tap. I've had inconsistent heath care throughout that time. I've never been on any medication. Reason: health insurance, cost, changing locations, and fear. I'm a tough girl, and can't always express the amount of discomfort I'm feeling to doctors or love ones. But, I've been struggling for the last 3 years with extreme facial pain, incapacitating. Followed by psychological issues that I assume is due to pain. The pain is chronic and the dentist,and ENT see nothing wrong. They also deny that this can be MS related. Short sighted in my opinion. I've been waiting for my appointment to see a MS specialist neurologist in the area since May 2025. I'm currently not insured because life happens. With saying that, health care isn't something I can depend on and my focus is on that which I can control, healthy food, meditative practices, and managing my energy. Difficult with a 5 year old, but I digress. The lingering question is what to expect as time goes on, considering my predicament. Is there an obvious path of regression, or is this all unpredictable? Living with fear isn't my MO, but blindness, immobility, ect. Is scary.
