Newly Diagnosed
I just got diagnosed with MS from visiting the ER where I live on March 24th they did two MRIs on me the first one was without contrast where they found white matter on my brain and did a second MRI with contrast where they found the lesions in my brain and cervical spine. I just got an appointment to see a neurologist two hours from me on April 28th. My symptoms were dizziness, headaches, vertigo, seeing double, and blurry vision. Any one else had a similar experience? I’m still processing this diagnosis. I’m basically in limbo until I see the neurologist.
Hi my name is Nana, You are among friends here. My symptoms were dizziness, optic neuritis, heat intolerance, weak bladder with leakage, and I actually fainted at work. MS can be scary at first, and I would be lying if I told you that it will get better. Each of our journeys are different but we understand what each of us are experiencing.
Wise words from Nana. Also there is a Buddy System here that you can join. You will be matched with some and be able to have more personalised conversations with someone else with a lived experience of MS. You’ve made a really great choice in joined Shift MS! Remember your are a pwMS ( person with MS). MS doesn’t define you!
