Women with MS: a question for you 📝

Misdiagnosis is pretty common among us MSers since MS symptoms can mimc other conditions. Interestingly, the Multiple Sclerosis In America 2019 survey showed that women are MORE likely to be misdiagnosed so we wanted to get your thoughts below 👇 P.S. Share your stories in the comments below 💬 Your experience could make a real difference to an upcoming project later this year. Let's support each other! 💜

Were you initially misdiagnosed before your MS diagnosis?

Was diagnosed at 22 by GP with a virus!!!!! Looked like I had had a stroke but was told it was a virus and it would resolve in 3 weeks ~Correct diagnosis 1 week before 35th birthday traced back to the “virus at 22 “ which was incidentally my first relapse!!!!!! 🥳😳🙄💪🍀✊
