thank you for doing this video you were diagnosed a year after me but i was in denial for 2 years so I just now am starting the process of dealing with the ms medically and mentally it has been very scary and watching your video made me feel less alone:) so thank you very much. Im 25 years old and was diagnosed when I was about 4 months pregnant it was a very stressful time I lost site in my left eye!! Scary!!! Well thank you so much for your time and chin up:)

@bluebeara25 Hello and thanks for watching, lovely to meet you. Being diagnosed at any age is one hell of a blow, but you were diagnosed very young so denial can be a useful survival tactic - for a while... On the upside, you're probably aware that pp who are diagnosed young like yourself often have a better prognosis longer term... And I hope you're also aware that the chances of your child developing MS are not that great - don't quote me but I think its round 30% chance. Take care x

Hhhmmmmm that went wrong, again, hello i would like to know if you expirienced any muscle trembling as à symptom?

[MSBunnyCuddles]

@blackunseelie Hi there, muscle trembling? no I haven't... That sounds like a very uncomfortable symptom, Im sorry if that's what you're currently experiencing. Every case is so unique from the next...

Is this your last video? Is another on the way?

[MSBunnyCuddles]

@ceahorse56 Hello! Yes, there's definitely more to come ;)

Great vids! I see lots of similarities with my own saga, from the suspected pinched nerve to all the nasty tests. I was DXed incorrectly with RRMS in 2006, I actually have PPMS, if it's any consolation it's loads worse than what you might be looking at ;)

I run a fundraising blog but talk a lot about living with MS, and I'd love to have you visit. Ignore the donate buttons and please leave comments, talking with others is vital. Google "Get Glenn Mobile!' , please stop by and thanks

Glenn!

Thank you for sharing, I've M.S. diagnoced in April 2011, make a long story short it is difficult to learn to deal with. And the meds are strange with side affects, it is very difficult to try explaining to co-workers. Thank you again, Robert

Hello

@22bellas Hi again - the steroid treatment helped but it didn't make the relapse 'go away' - it just works to dampen down the inflammation in the brain and help speed up recovery, its certainly no miracle fix and it was still weeks until I felt better - I now take Tysabri and have not relapsed since March 2011.
