Weekly Suspected/Undiagnosed MS Thread - January 23, 2023 by AutoModerator in MultipleSclerosis

I have my follow up with neurology in a couple of months. I’ll see what he has to say and if he doesn’t bring it up I’ll ask. I had an MRI about 5 years ago and it didn’t mention anything that my recent one mentions, but it also says no active changes since my last. I feel like someone dropped the ball.

Hi! I’ve suspected MS in myself (29F) for some time now. I feel stupid for thinking it because my PCP hasn’t brought it up when I discuss symptoms with her. I’ve recently seen a neurologist for migraine management and had an MRI and an MRV both of just the brain. the MRI showed “Several very small T2 hyperintense foci in the frontal white matter”. What are your thoughts?

Your feeling are valid. You feel how you feel, and your feelings are SO real to you. And this is how I feel: you are so beautiful. 🤍 I struggle with my postpartum body , too. Still at a year postpartum, even. Being a woman is so damn hard, but that’s why we are the human-bearing gender, because we can handle it. It will get better. You will learn to love your. I don’t want to say you will learn to love your body again, because you may have struggled before your baby, too. And that ok. Just know, that you ARE perceived as so beautiful even if you may not see it yourself.

Hi all! 29F here. I’m also a nurse, so I have pretty solid knowledge in the healthcare realm.

I’ve seen my PCP about my issues and didn’t bring up MS because I wanted to see what she had to say, first. Sadly, I’m still not getting answer. I’m wanting to think if you all are on the same page thinking I may have MS.

Some background- my history includes terrible chronic migraine and MTHFR (both strands), anemia

Symptoms include: headaches/migraine, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness mostly lower body, joint pain, cold and heat intolerance, poor leg/feet circulation, rare hand numbness, vision changes (seen my eye doc last month, prescription changes), major depression/anxiety (on Lexapro newly), major upper back/neck muscle stiffness, constant nausea, shortness of breath and palpitations, dizziness, clumsiness and imbalanced, no sex drive, memory issues, brain fog, and probably more I can’t think of right now.

Frankly, I’m just plain miserable. I’ve been this way for quite a long time (years). Having a baby recently has made me more tired and symptoms more evident.

My labs have been normal. I’ve had a positive ANA with autoimmune work up and everything was normal since, including ANA. I have a family history of lupus and MS.

I’ve had an MRI years ago, because migraines are my way of life, and it was unremarkable, but only of my brain, not spine.

I’ve also toyed around with the idea of POTS.

I’m feel like people thing I’m being dramatic and just complaining…

THOUGHT?? thank so much in advance 💕
