I Have Multiple Sclerosis

EP started as a site for people with Multiple Sclerosis and went from there.
I was diagnosed after January 1, 2011 at age 31, I went completely blind out of my left eye. It was like a light bulb went out. The burning! The burning! I had Optic Neuritis. I'd never heard of it before, but I'd learn soon of it's link to MS.
I have 2 lesions on my brain. Now I know where the wide array of health problems I'd had since I was 15 came from. Doctors always made me feel crazy. It turns out I wasn't lying after all.

I have a family member going through the same thing. I’ll pray for you.

I simply cannot understand why the doctors failed to inform you of your condition. Unless it was your Mother that didn't want you to know the full truth. Now that situations have changed. Where are you now in the stage of this disease?

No hun, they called me a liar about my symptoms. They didn't know.

@Duckgirl Unfortunately, that happens more often than people would think...I read about so many cases where people were taking psychiatric medication for anxiety disorder or depression before they were diagnosed with real issue. 😠

You know your own body, don't you? And instinct plays a big part too. Sorry to hear about your struggle with this but you seem well-informed as to what is going on with your condition. I'd like to think you have support from some people on this site but doubt it somehow. All the very best to you x

One of my clients has MS. Pain all of the time. I had one other client who has been in the nursing home a long time.

Duckgirl · 41-45, F

Sorry to hear that. They denied me my pain for years and brushed me off as a Hypochondriac because no injuries or reasons for my pain showed up on X-rays.

It's tough what you've been through, and God Bless... You keep moving forward

Thank you.

Also, I have a first cousin who has been in the nursing home for years with MS.
