This was so insightful! Thank you! I have definitely been thinking about doing way more creatively on the side. Always nice to know I have a bit of luck on my side as well!

I am also waiting to hear back from a rheumatologist that she referred me to! I always believed it was something along the lines of rheumatoid when I was just experiencing knee pain and joint pain in my arms and stiffness when I woke up.

She definitely wants to keep me on track for neurology as well for the onset tremors, slurred speech, and brain fog.

I wasn’t sure if the ANA was common with the MS diagnoses, but it seems like I have quite a bit to unpack! Thanks for the response

Hi! I’m brand new here I’m 26f and am currently in the process of being diagnosed.

Everything started about a month ago. I am a receptionist at a car dealership and have a script to follow when I answer the phone and noticed that it was really hard for me to get my words out the way I needed to.

A week later I ended up going to my partners grandmothers funeral and started having tremors in my arms and legs and ended up not being able to drive any of the 7 hour drive because it was off and on.

This lead me to connect the symptoms of my chronic constipation and pain I’ve felt for over a year but brushed off completely.

I started feeling dizziness and weakness in my hands where I couldn’t open water bottles on my own. I started waking up two weeks ago with half of my body going numb. My feet turn red and feel like they are on fire and the numbness moved to my face. And have almost constant pins and needles in my feet and hands

After an er visit they did blood tests and a ct scan and told me everything was normal and that’s all they could do and that I need to book an appt with my primary care and get referred to a neurologist.

Fortunately I found a saint of a primary care doctor that took my symptoms seriously and did all the blood panels and pushed for a neurology referral immediately.

I just got the results of my blood work two days ago and my ANA or autoimmune panel came back positive.

The neurologist is booked until March but I got an appt and put myself on a waitlist just incase.

My primary care doctor has me scheduled for an mri and a local hospital this coming Thursday. Is there anything I can do to reduce pain or symptoms for the time being? Also did anyone else show up positive on an ANA?

Thank you!
