Dizzy or blurry vision and confusion after long day?

Hey y’all, I have been slightly dizzy and eyes kinda blurry past few days towards the end of the work day. I also feel slight confusion when this happens and I’m not sure what is triggering it. Does this happen to anyone else? This generally isn’t a symptom that I have but doesn’t feel like a relaps...

Hi I'm pre diagnosis and petrified of another episode while I wait.

I've struggled with alot of unexplained health problems for well over 15 years. I've been dismissed by more doctors than I can count because I have anxiety. Unfortunately in December 2024 I had the worst "leg attack" I've had in years which left me wheelchair bound. The hospital told me that they be...

Talking about MS at work

Hi all, how did you go about talking about MS at work? I’m just considering what is the best way to talk to my line manager about it without going in too much detail. For now, I don’t have significant symptoms that have an impact on work itself however I noticed that some situations at work trigger...

Hi everybody, if you look back, what were the possible signs of a disease and you ignored it or didnt take it too seriously? For me it was frequent headaches wizh vomiting,nobody send me to neurologist because they thout it was migraine triggered by stress at university. Also sleeping problems and sometimes tingling of a face.

Hello everyone 😊. A little about myself. I was diagnosed with MS (after experiencing a few different symptoms (🤔maybe in a period of 3 months or so 🤷🏼‍♀️). This happened November 2008 at the age of 30. After being discharged from the hospital, I went to see a neurologist who started me on daily injections. I don’t recall too much, however I remember the Dr telling me newly diagnosed patients will have a relapse in about 2 years. I was on injections (which injections 🤷🏼‍♀️) less than a year (due to insurance). About 2-3 years later, I again have insurance. I recall hearing anything you take or do to yourself can trigger your “MS”. So because of that, I refused to be back on meds/injections. My way of thinking (maybe not the healthiest) was “It’s been close to 4 years and I haven’t had a relapse or suffered from it. Fast forward ➡️, almost 16 years later I have never experienced anything to do with MS since the time I was diagnosed. I’ve doubted (and still do) of my diagnostic was correct. A few years ago I had some tests done on me and according to Dr- I still show cloudy patches bla bla bla. I’m very thankful and blessed with myself but I’ve also wished and prayed MS didn’t exist. I wish everyone the best, NEVER lose hope or faith and always be thankful you don’t have it worse 🥰.
