Anyone Have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Or Know Anyone Who Does? (Srs)

Wondering If I can get some real world info from ppl as doctors have failed me so far.
I think my symptoms match up with this.

5 months of health problems and weird symptoms that they werent concerned about.

2 ct scans on head: fine
1 mri on head: fine
neurologist reflex test: said I was fine and to call back in 3 months for telephone talk
blood tests all "fine" except for arsenic that was twice as high as the max level. (possible cause of symptoms?, still looking into this and got retested a month after and waiting to see new results)

symptoms ive had starting from january:
dizziness,burning pain mainly in forehead/head but now in legs and feet lately, right foot and hand get weak and makes it hard to do stuff,tremors (weird shakes), had some mental probs like hard to think and focus at some points, vision probs like blurry vision and left eyelid feels like it wants to close or is twitching lately. Theres a lot of weird stuff but i think that mostly covers it.

anyone know about Ms?

Was absolutely convinced I had MS at one point. Had most of your symptoms and some worse (muscles would just stop responding).

Fixed my sleep schedule and it all vanished. If that fails, get on anxiety meds.

Have some neurological issues myself that some of the symptoms line up with MS. Just kind of said fk it and stopped thinking about it tbh. My best friends mom has the most severe form of it and she pretty much can’t do anything

Are you eating a lot of rice?

I'm wondering where the arsenic is coming from. Rice is a big culprit in that.

when was your mri?

currently MS is diagnosed based on visible lesions on mri, so if you've been cleared recently there's not much need to worry.

worked overnights for years but have been out of work since jan cuz of how i was feeling.

The past few weeks just been sleeping 2am ish and getting up at 10am.
i know its better for me but still have a lot of symptoms.

No idea but I was eating (unrinsed) rice daily for years. I stopped that recently, along with whey, chicken just in case.
has only been like a month though and probably takes time to get that out of my system.
they retested it and im waiting for results. Should be done now.
i hope if thats the cause of my symptoms, it will go away after some time and not cause permanent probs

Look up ms section on Reddit and see if your experiences align with them, make a post there.

Typically I think you’re gonna experience numb body parts and tingling / severe vision problems

Well hoping that you and OP don't have it.

Another thing that can cause Lhermitte's sign? Arthritis in your neck.

just found it today.
so far ppl are saying that if mri didnt find anything, should be good.
and another is like id listen to neurologist. if he said you didnt have it, I wouldnt worry.
but I never bought up ms to him so he probably wasnt suspecting it.

Those at high risk because of their jobs include:

Painters
Plumbers
Flooring installers
Construction workers
Truck or bus drivers


Anyone who stares at a computer screen that's at the wrong height

Me being at the computer all day everyday... hmm
i dont have neck pain but neck probs can cause weird symptoms.

the neuro actually said maybe I should look at neck mri to see if something is up with neck too.

It's not likely to be MS in that case.

How's your blood pressure? If you have a family history of hypertension you should do some daily measurements for a week or two just to get a baseline.

It’s easy to find out for sure , just sit in a hot tub for a while . If you lose a ton of strength for a few weeks you’ve probably flared up your MS , if in fact you’ve actually got it .
My mother couldn’t be in an environment over 70 degree Fahrenheit, as she’d dam near fall apart , speech slurred and extremely weak .

Prior to the mri , they used hot water as a test to see if patients had ms

I had a twitch in my right hand and eye lid for months - maybe 2 or 3 - and my right thumb would "shake" when trying to keep it straight. Add to that, heart palpitations. Turns out I was low in magnesium and started taking ZMA. Went away days later and never returned.

When you workout hard your body gets depleted of essential nutrients.

Yes a good friend has had it for 20 years so I know lots.
The focus and nerve pain are signs but to be 100 percent sure they remove fluid from your spine. Look up optic neuritis, and see if any of that applies to your vision. Ms varies from person to person so if you ask 20 people you will get a list of many different types of symptoms some of which are feet leg and nerve pain.
Ask away if you need more.

left eye just seems like its twitching at times and maybe a tad blurry at times. nothing as serious as I read with a google search.

What you should do man is fly in to CA and get a full body scan MRI at this company called Q bio.

Full body scan. Blood test. Genetic testing. Etc.

Another one is called prenuvo. Medical system kinda sucks so I wouldn’t wait. Early prevention is best.

Well you could just be experiencing a nerve issue(neuropathy), call a neurologist and if he/she decides you need the tap then reconsider.

unfortunately you cant just "call" neurologists atm.
You need a referal from your doc and it sometimes takes over a month to get seen.

I saw one earlier in month and he said he will call in 3 months and thats it. its a nightmare

this OP

this is how they confirm MS is by the lesions in the brain.


had a relative who had it in the 90s, the treatments are a lot better now than they were 20+ years ago

before you had about 10 years to live
