Hi everyone, I have so many questions. My name is Karen. I had a TIA on September 2nd after that things started happening fast. I'm 62 yrs old and now my Dr says I have MS due to symptoms and family history. My systoms are pain from my ankles to my lower back, my legs feel like cold water is running down them and pain. My left hand shakes and my legs tremble when I try to stand up and walk. My stomach gets sharp pains, and my vision is blurry with double vision.My next step is to a neurologist but I don't know what they do there. I had the MRI and it said finding showed age or MS. I'm so confused with everything that's going on with my body. Can you all help me? Are my symptoms consistent with MS?

I was diagnosed june 2025 but started noticing symptoms in January and didnt know anything about MS. I started off with vertigo,double vision falling down,headaches,numbness on left side of my face,eye peralysis,dizziness, very weak, shock feelings throughout my legs, high blood pressure, trouble swallowing food, couldnt be in the sun, trouble breathing, mood changes and anxiety. I workout every day though its hard take MS meds plus more and all i can say is no one knows what this is till you have it. I cant do things i used to do and hurts me every day also with a baby girl otw i know i have to stay strong as a MS WARRIOR 🙏

Has anyone having problems with their eyesight? As for me I'm seeing double vision plus I have issues seeing long distance when driving, I can't see the white letters on green sign until I'm right on top of exit. Doctor says I'll lose my eyesight in a couple of years.

Hi, my name is Grace I am 19yrs old, Born and Raised in Philly. I never really knew much about MS though I do have 2 family members who have it. I have been experiencing numbness, tingling, sciatica, fatigue, double vision, itching and tingling sensation in my skin, tremors, weakness in my arms and legs, balance issues, etc… I went to see my Primary and she said it could be MS, though I do have some other things going on. She ordered a MRI for me but they didn’t really find anything. I went to see a Neurologist and he looked over my scans and suggested I get a another MRI just to be sure and this time lthey are looking at the whole spine. I sometimes I feel like I may not be taken seriously because of my age. But hopefully I can figure out what’s going on with me because this whole process has been tiring and frustrating. But the MRI is at the end of the month so I guess we’ll see.

After taking my almost 2 years old from his crib, my shoulder and back got crazy stabbing pain, I feel like hot pain, and I could not move at all. Not even breathing. I am not sure is this happen because I carry him in a wrong way to it is MS. I got diagnosed in 2013 after I had double vision. Since then I didn’t took any medication. I had another attack on 2018 but I had no symptoms. I am so afraid of this new MS attack. I have little toddlers I have to take care of them :(. How is MS pain?

Hi I'm new to Shift so excuse the babbling I'm 53 and was diagnosed in 1995 was trying as you all are i had two episodes of double vision in 2003 & 04 and was offered Avonex i had to finished work in 2005 and have muddling through with various new things it wasn't going Tooo bad but was told 2022ish it's now Secondary. I honestly felt worse than when first diagnosed... I knew things are bleak but even though it nearly 30 years it's a whole new mountain. Apart from things not working right and luckily not having to go to work but I really don't know where the time goes ???? I've never been a get going kind of person (my partner has always said it's my Malabu thing) but time just seems to wiz by before I've got going. I'm supposed to do physio and day to day things but the time just goes 🙃 thanks x
