Hi I am 50 and have am newly diagnosed with MS. I passed out last year in September in a hospital being treated for heart pain.. After my vaccinations I had pain over and over around heart. Was diagnosed with Myocarditis then pericarditis.. I was over medicated and passed out fell and hit my head really bad.. back in December I finally had a mri which showed 11 lesions on my brain.. and I was admitted to hospital 4 days for iv steroids.. the steroids helped for 3 weeks but since then the past month I have severe pain that lasts for days.. the numbness does not last for long but deep pain in several areas that no pill takes away.. I’m scheduled to start Ocrevus next week by iv just waiting for my jcv blood tests to comeback.. I’m so scared to have this medication.. prior to passing out last September I had not a single symptom and the past 6 months has been almost a daily pain in several areas.. stress yes makes it worse being happy even triggers something.. I’m so new to this and am watching lots of MS videos of real people who have it rather that what the doctors say.. sorry for the vent hope you feel better soon.. 💕

Bad days for me usually are because of the day before. I had one earlier this week where company came into town unexpected & even though chatting/lunch & dropping her off really exhausted me the next day. I spent it on the couch with a headache. I do think it's stress related about the family we talked about...I internalize and feel deeply about people and I know it's what caused this in the first place. Stress kills. I went and worked out the next day, spend some time sitting in the sun even though cool & started a knitting project. I also like to be extra kind to myself. Buy yourself some flowers, paint a picture, have a cup of tea, gardening is right around the corner. All these make me happy. Do kindnesses for yourself. Maybe it's new hobby?! Best to you:)

Sarah, you are handling it all wonderfully. Keep that stiff upper lip. I have been on the Wahls diet very strict for a year now and certainly hasn't been an easy adjustment but I'm very used to it now. It has made me so much more pleasant to be around because I was so miserable when I was diagnosed. I also find that quiet time and reflection especially prayer have really helped me lately 🙏 Just never give up eat right as some foods I think are definitely a trigger. Stay strong 💪 and keep your positive attitude because it's what we make it. My prayers go out to you as well ❤

Thank you sara for sharing your life changing story.

"Neurologists are bozo's." this is what my friends Dad says. He's also a neurologist. Primary Doctors have also echoed the same sentiment. My friend also make MS drugs and admit they don't work. Also, the biggest law suit in history to date was against and MS drug company.

I been having a lot of ms symptoms but didn’t get diagnosed! I had brain and spinal mris without contrast they came back normal should I do one with contrast 😢 I’m lost
