Diagnosis elimination process
I am 23 years old mother of two under the age of three. I have been experiencing symptoms of MS, 19 if you want me to be exact. Just the other day it felt like I had electric shocks going to my body. I feel like my mom doesn’t believe me, I feel that she thinks I’m overreacting. I feel so alone, and that’s because I am. I left my partner of four years last month the day I was diagnosed with TMJ in my jaw. Unrelated. They did all my bloodwork and it’s completely normal. In February I lost feeling in my left toe (Next to the pinky) Slowly more and more of my foot now both feet are losing feeling. I get pins and needle’s Especially when I bend over. I’m dropping stuff all the time I can’t even talk right. As I used to say my words be Trippin, but now I have problems even just trying to say what I want to and I’m scared. I have an MRI in August and a neurology appointment as well. I hope that they can find what is wrong and I pray that it’s not MS. But my gut is telling me otherwise.
Don't worry I have MS and was diagnosed when I was 38.I am a mother of 2 and continued to work full time till I was 55. The best advice I was given was by a friend whose sister had it.She said ever give up and walk walk walk.J did that for many years and is at 63 I sm still doing well. I wish you all the best x
Hello .@shea_stirling, really sorry you are going trough this. So it’s great your MRI is next month, whether it’s MS or not, it should be able to pick up what is going on. 30 years ago MRIs weren’t around and people lived in limbo, sometimes for decades. So that’s a positive thing. If it is MS, then that’s a bummer but you are young enough to have a whole life in front of you. Believe me, the rate as which things are speeding up is rapid, and new stuff is being uncovered and discovered every year. Even since I first got ill nearly three years ago, research and medication has advanced. Being in limbo is the worst ever thing. But do try to keep going, your kiddies need their mummy! Stay strong and also stay away from Google. We are here to support you, so let us know how it goes xx
