What is Multiple Sclerosis

I am 18 years old and I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about 6 months ago. i would say on the first half of the year i was syptoms such as constant dizzy spells, numbness and lost of control of my legs. I ended up in the ER 3 times, had to take a cat scan and constant MRI's to find out MS was my problem. im not saying i had it the worst just saying thats how i knew i had it

I was diagnosed with MS 11 years ago, but have had symptoms for longer. I was told I was neurotic and had post natal depression before finally getting a diagnosis!
These days I do OK. I have problems in lots of ways and it can be a challenge, but the main thing is to stay positive. It's not the end of the world!! Don't let MS define you, live a different version of who you really are!!

my mom has been diagnosed with MS 1 Year ago.. this disese is not spreadable. its inside the body and you can not die from it. iam just glad that my mom is still here to have her first grandchild
to Melindaca yes they can do an MRI Too se what is going on\inside your body.they would usually do it in the brain..
someone or somthing out there will know that they have MS. I Belive that eveyone who has it, is beautifull in their own way.!!

Has anyone here suffered from opthmalplegia due to MS? God bless ANY of you suffering from nerve pain and inflammation.. tough stuff.

i was slightly diagnosed with ms jan 2008, but i didnt have insurance til now, so i got a second opinion with a different neurologist and took my mri's and as on thursday october 8, 2009 i was fully diagnosed with this disease.

Can you please tell me what they did to diagnose you.. did they do so with an MRI?

Can some of you MS patients please tell me some of the early symptoms you had? Im afraid I may have this disease. What early symptoms did you have and what prompted you guys to go see a doctor? Thanks in advance!

My 15 year old granddaughter has just been diagnosed with MS. She is to have more extensive test run next week. Please pray for her & everyone else with this devastating disease.

I don't think anyone can really know unless they have it, but hopefully this will get the word out about what it is and get more people out there searching for a cure!
