Symptoms Of MS That Most People Ignore

It is estimated that nearly 2.3 million people worldwide are affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). It is a chronic and unpredictable disease that affects the central nervous system and does not discriminate among gender or ethnicity. Many of the complications of MS can be prevented or managed if the symptoms are recognized and treatment is sought.

As of 4 months ago I got diagnosed with MS. I'm 37 now and never been sick not hospitalized in my whole life. This by far has been a whole life changing experience. I went from not being able to move my arms and legs from one day to the next. 3 months later after medication and therapy and the blessings of God, truly greatful to be walking again. I thank my family for all their support and prayers. I don't know where I would be without them💔😞😭. God bless you all and don't give up.

Fatigue doesn't start in the afternoon, it stays all day in a lot of ms sufferers, even after rest

This is why I don't leave my house much. People laugh at these effects of MS and it's hard to deal with. My feelings get hurt. The people that are genuine are the ones that ask questions. Those people are loved.

It took years to finally get my diagnosis of MS. I’ve had it now for 23 years, and am now secondary progressive. Thankfully, a diagnosis is not dependent on an MRI or positive spinal tap, but on signs and symptoms. That’s a huge improvement, since treatment can be started before major disability sets-in. As someone who lost her nursing career to this cruel disease and depends on SSD for income, please, please get to a neurologist quickly if you experience any one of the symptoms mentioned in this video:: It can literally save life as you know it today.

I have numerous symptoms that match MS but my Drs say it's not MS, yet they have no idea what I actually do have. Only one neurologist said I have muscle disease. But with 3 different emg tests those were all normal so at least I don't have ALS.
Pretty frustrating not knowing while my symptoms are getting worse and condition is deteriorating.

Like so many early symptoms of serious issues, most of these symptoms can occur from many other serious or non-serious illnesses. Frustrating.

I've been tentatively diagnosed with MS years ago but can't afford the MRI..numb in my legs and spasms.but the overwhelming desire to sleep is what bothers me the most..im always in bed when not working

[saffyblu]

If you have been diagnosed with MS but not have experienced significant improvement with the treatment, ask to be tested for neuromyelitis optica (NMO) ... very similar symptoms but distinctly different diseases with different treatments. I have NMO and was misdiagnosed with MS for 3 months when I experience no improvement, my health continued to decline, so I was retested NMO and tested positive.

Amed Orby I refuse and rebuke my MS. It doesn't have me, I just have it. And in the Holy name of Jesus Christ, I REBUKE YOUR DEPRESSION! He will help you, just trust in Him. I will continue to pray for you. I would take PHYSICAL pain over DEPRESSION any day! It sucks, plain and simple! Exercising helps TREMENDOUSLY as having a pet relying on you. Tell yourself you refuse this illnesses and will fight! God Bless You Sweetie.

as soon as they said nasal voice they show a picture of Fran Drescher .. like as if this Disease is some type of joke or something

[benfrank]

I don't think anyone with MS ever ignores their fatigue

[LorrieSmithSTOPANIMALCRUELTY]

Well, welcome to my world! MS SUCKS and I'm sick of fighting with doctors who want to dismiss my "Poster Child" symptoms, because I don't have big enough plaques or bands. Doctors rely too much on machines rather than actually practice medicine! Ironically, it was my now ex-husband who discovered it before we were married. He's one of those doctors who actually EXAMINE their patients. Imagine that!

Daily magnesium and potassium has stopped my leg spasms and my MS hug isses stopped after lasting from April until July. I find that daily B-12 helps me have more energy. Newly diagnosed at 48. However I've been having issues since age 42. So it took 6 years. But when you already have 5 other auto immune dusease yiu just kinda think it's normal. The hardest part for me was the loss of all sexual function at age 44. The loss of my bladder too. I drop everything its frustrating. I fall a lot and I hate the memory and eye issues. My body aches and burns. Last year I could no longer wear a normal underwire bra. It's all stretchy ones now. I'm tired a lot and holding a job is difficult. Once I'm finally diagnosed I'm filing for disability.

I can think of 15 folks I know with ms..including my ex husband..hes in a nursing home at 59..and in a wheel chair..galion ohio has the highest rate of Ms in the country. Cleveland clinic did a study on it years ago..

[genius-nosl]

This is crazy. I can relate with these problems

*Lupus (SLE) & MS are VERY similar.*
