I'm a medical student and this was very moving for me to hear. We are just starting to learn neurology and your video really helped my understanding of MS. Thank you for talking so eloquently about your diagnosis.

@mwahahahahahahah Thank you, you are the first person that ever said that I spoke eloquently about anything. I just speak from the heart trying to let other know from my perspective. I appreciate your response and I'm happy to help anyone that I can.

My mom was diagnosed with MS 2 weeks ago. I'm getting depressed day by day thinking about her future... dijisjfisajfduifdsfhs

@xxdufffxx Please don't be depressed about the diagnoses. Unfortunately we are faced with difficult situations in life and we can deal with them. Be there for your Mom and try to help out when possible. There is a lot of information on the internet and talk to the Dr to see what can be done to help her. You can always send me a message if you need to talk. Take care and just know there is a lot of things that can be done to help your Mom out so it isn't as difficult. Take care!!

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. It's really good that you are letting people know what MS is like. I'm worried I might have MS.

I have been told I have an autoimmune disease, but my doctors can't decide which. I'm suffering from peripheral neuropathy, eyelid twitching, visual problems (such as blurring, double vision, and scotomas), bowel and bladder dysfunction, gastroparesis, lung granuloma, swollen lymph nodes, cold sores, livedo reticularis, raynaud's phenomenon and pseudo seizures.

@blobvision Unfortunately, we have to be our own personal advocates for our health. I know it's very difficult, but you need to keep a journal and keep records of all appointments and procedures. I find that the binders that the kids use for school is perfect. You can write symptoms, procedures and keep copies of any paperwork concerning your problems. This way when you go to your Dr or see a new one you can give exact dates, symptoms and any other information that they may need. Good Luck!

@xxdufffxx i know what you mean my intire family has it (no joking) but its not that bad my mom has injactions and they work really well they dont cure ms but they just stop it from getting worse :)

@djwqoijdio try rhis look left then rright do you see double vision? you need to see a neurologist and get MRI's and a spinal tap done to diagnose for MS. i hope your insurance ccvers it.

[tboy221]

@djwqoijdio my main symptom is medial rectal palsy in my right eye. and some balance problems shakiness but nothing real bad i can live with that. my MRI and spinal say i have MS but im still optimistic.

MS is very common in Scotland due to the miserable, freezing weather.
