Do I have MS?

Yesterday was my 12 month check up with Neurology. I was told she can’t decide if I have CIS or RMS but I’m being given information about my local MS nurses. So does this sound like I do have MS? Still in limbola d I think

Bladder problems

I’m still waiting on neurology appointment since February for a diagnosis of MS. Ended up back in hopsital all day today due to losing control of my bladder. Worst thing is it was at work and I don’t think I’ve her been so embarrassed. I didn’t realise I had wet myself until it was too late. I’m so ...

Finally Diagnosed!! Mixed feelings

I have been suffering for a few years and finally this month got diagnosed with RRMS. However due to being in 'Limbo Land' for so long I actually don't know how to feel about it 😒 Relieved and happy to know I was right all along? Or scared as not knowing what the future holds? Looking for any tips ...

An attempt to speed things up.

Hope everyone is doing well. Or as well as can be. Woke up this morning feeling like garbage and decided I needed to prod and poke the doctor a little today. As per usual I have blurred vision, sore eyes when moving, the daily dizziness that I've had for 3 years along with the numb left arm, disloca...

New here, question about lesions/progress

Hi I'm new here and I was just wondering how many of you had a CIS diagnosis with oligoclonal bands before you got your MS diagnosis? I have a lesion on my spinal cord that affects my right arm, got a lot of sensory issues with it and a lot of numbness as well. However, I've also experienced other...

Mood

My diagnosis has been changed recently from CIS to RRMS. I'm currently waiting for my latest MRI to be reviewed so I can start DMT. My memory seems OK but my walking and grip is affected. I am finding though that if too much is going on around me I become overwhelmed and cannot concentrate and end u...

In limbo

After what started off as a routine eye test around 3 years ago, I have been undergoing what seems like an endless amount of neurological and optical tests. I have some people saying, “You almost definitely have MS”, whereas others saying, “There are no signs of it at the moment”. I have various odd...

Not diagnosed yet.

I do apologise if this is not the right place. I dont have a diagnosis yet, but my GP strongly suspects MS. I've had a normal brain scan, nerve conduction studies seemed OK but the doctor said the issue seems to be coming from the spine. I'm not entirely sure how he could tell that. I've had MRI...
