I just found this site while searching a symptom I thought may be a relapse. I was diagnosed less than a year ago at 17. I’m sure I had MS long before this because I always felt terrible and ended up at the doctor almost every week where I felt like they thought I was there to get a pass from school. I was even told not to see a neurologist. I’ve been adjusting to this and sometimes it’s hard.
Hi & welcome to the site. What did you have to get your diagnosis an mri? Also why were you told not to see a neurologist? What symptom are you experiencing? Sorry for all the questions. Take care
Hi @kbug and welcome. MS is hard for all of us. But, I should imagine that it's more so for someone of your age, with the majority of their life still ahead of them. In hindsight, it's not unusual for us to recount that earlier events were actually related to this diagnosis, but were discounted as isolated issues. A more holistic view may have put the pieces of the jigsaw together at an earlier stage. But, that's the beauty of hindsight! Living with this condition can require some adjustment. However, you're young and you're already on one of the most effective treatments. So, I would hope that MS would remain as a manageable condition for you. Just eat healthily, live healthily and try to keep life events in context, to avoid unnecessary stress. So, what symptoms are you experiencing at the moment, which you think may be related to MS activity?
