For me Having conversations with people isn't easy specially when im tired because if they talk fast, i just get very confused and Lost in conversation, and as you said sometimes in the middle of conversation i forget what was i trying to prove to the other person.

Hi it’s really great to see other young people with ms sharing their story❤❤ I was diagnosed when I was 18 and now at 22 I still think back to the obvious signs I was showing prior to my diagnosis, I wish you luck on your journey

Thank you so much! It's so nice (as nice as it can be anyway) hearing other people a similar age to me sharing their diagnosis - it makes it so much less lonely :) good luck to you too!

Isn’t it true u can’t show symptoms if you don’t have lesions?..I don’t understand when ppl say I was showing symptoms many years ago because with MS symptoms remain for weeks or months get worse and go away…

Thank you for this video! I only got diagnosed 1 month ago although like you had many symptoms I chalked up to being nothing beforehand until my last "flare" which i couldnt ignore and went to see someone. The biggest annoying thing I have now since my flare 2 months ago is the dizzy and weird slightly blurred vision thing! It's hard to explain to people the weird vision so it's nice to hear someone else knows what im talking about! I really hope it subsides though because it's so frustrating and a MS reminder everyday when I'm looking at stuff or trying to grocery shop. I'm really enjoying your channel and your positive outlook to keep living and enjoying life when it's such a big blow! I'm definately in the dark hole stage of it so your videos have been so nice to dins :) I hope you're enjoying Australia (my home) ❤

thank you for your lovely message! i know how frustrating it can be, working on keeping stress and inflammation low was huge for me to reduce my vision/dizziness symptoms. the DMT i’m on was really helpful too! keep pushing through, it’ll get easier ❤

I really appreciate the videos. The way you talk about the condition helps me relieve some stress about my own diagnosis too. It’s also very valuable the way you explain your symptoms. I remember being very confused when I had my first symptoms. This video would have helped during the time I was getting diagnosed. I’m 22 and got diagnosed last year and it has been a journey. I experienced the same symptoms, even the hair loss. Thanks for the videos! Your attitude towards the condition is one to take as example.

Hey! Thank you for sharing! I’ve been struggling with a mystery illness for over a decade. It started when I was 12 and no one knew what it was or said I was crazy or making up my symptoms. I eventually just went home, dropped out of school and was a vegetable, rotting away. I’d fall over randomly when I was walking and I’d watch the news and it was like they were speaking a different language. I couldn’t understand. Couldn’t follow conversations. I was in this state for 2 yrs and slowly I got better. I dont fall anymore but that brain fog hits me all the time and I can’t explain to ppl one day im this IQ and this day im another. No one believes that. But thats what im dealing with. I cant tell left from right or do simple math. When im ok, well id just succeeded at skipping into 9th grade and had scored as gifted and highly on their intelligence tests. It hurts knowing what I could do and being reduced to this. A week ago I happened to be on a date with a doctor and he immediately said I had MS and every thing I thought couldn’t be connected linked up. So I’m going to speak with my neurologist soon. I rly hope I have it bcuz thats better than living an unknown, w no treatment, not knowing whats going to happen to u. Anyone wondering if u have MS, bring it up to ur doctors. I dont know how all of mine dropped the ball on me but no one should have to live undiagnosed for years. I hope everyone maintains hope and strength. Thnx!

Thank you for sharing 😊 I started showing symptoms at 18 but was not diagnosed until I was 21 because of the “my body will work it out” or symptoms resolving by the time I would get to the doctor.

about to go through testing to see if i have nerve issues or a neurological condition so i have a question; do symptom flare ups come and go? i go through numbness (from the top of my head to my toes on my right side), muscle weakness, poor grip strength, unsteady gait (especially walking up stairs) and just general pain on one side. it sometimes lasts for 2+ weeks.
@charli-95 ай бұрын
Symptoms do come and go for me, depending on how much sleep I've had/the food I've eaten (anything that can affect my inflammation). I hope the testing goes well!

@@erzas556 I'd first test for some potential deficiencies that can cause those symptoms (even depression)- B12, 25-OH D Vitamin, Magnesium. If those come back within normal limits and symptoms persist or worsen (or new symptoms appear), you can see a neurologist just to rule out a more serious cause.

Hi Charlie- on Kesimpta here in US, Colorado on for almost 2 years:) Feel pretty good overall. Tiredness & brain fog & sometimes trying to come up with a specific word sometime is REAL. Keeping stress low low helps very much. Yoga is my dear friend & walking, hiking a must. Best to you
