My First Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms

I started to notice that something was wrong in October, 2012. This is a brief introduction to my experience with MS and the first symptoms that led to my diagnosis.

  • My dad has been living with MS since he was 45. He is currently 89. Keep up the faith! My dad did a special diet (low fat--The Swank Diet) and took Cod Liver Oil supplements and that is one of the reasons we think that he has done so well. Cheers!

    I hope you're doing OK now mate. You should update us, a comment, or short hello video.

    Well, bless you hunny. My father was diagnosed when i was 6. Within a year he went to cane, to walker, to wheelchair 100% disabled. I became his caregiver at age 8. He passed away after suffering for YEAAAAARS when i was 24. 10 years ago this year. Its a terrible thing. So terrible... i need therapy to cope with the memories of my poor dad suffering... ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I’m 39 and just got diagnosed. Late stage. I thought I was dying. It’s treatable.
  • I motivated myself by reading the Bible every day. I keep pushing myself to be strong and happy 😊
  • I’m 22 & I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis back in June of 2017. I know every feeling & I know every pain. It’s difficult for me but I’m still getting use to things til this day. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

    I was absolutely convinced I had this. I was absolutely wrong! To anyone watching this who, like myself, has a past history of health anxiety, get off the internet and stop googling symptoms! You honestly will NOT find the answers you’re looking for! The brain is unbelievably powerful and if you read a set of symptoms and you’re wound up enough, you will get them symptoms!

    Good luck to you sir and many blessings to you and your family.
  • Thank you for your video. I have m.s as well it's good to learn about what I have been experiencing were symptoms that no one could find. And not me being crazy. I'm thankful that you are creating a community.

    Balance and fatigue are my biggest issues. I was diagnosed in 2005. I went to my dentist because I felt tingling on the left side of my mouth. I thought it was a toothache of some kind. 15+ years later, the thing I miss the most is the feeling of dignity of being able to walk in a straight line without tripping and falling over myself in public
  • Thank you, Paul, for sharing your story. I was recently diagnosed with MS. I was totally ignorant and attributed my symptoms with aging. I'm 64, and have noticed a big decline in my balance and cognitive capabilities over the past three years. Your videos have offered me hope. I understand this is a lifetime condition, but being able to communicate with others going thru this same journey, is quite therapeutic. Again, thank you so much!
  • @monsteramn88
    Best of luck, friend. Hope you find peace in life with haste
  • @keely9750
    What a cliffhanger!! Paul please tell me, how are you now? I need to know if you are OK. Thank you for these videos x
  • I know it for a year and the doctors have been ignoring me. Thank you 🙏 much love to you and stay safe ❣️
  • @zan1158
    Very conversational and informative.  Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm an infusion nurse and I help treat MS patients regularly, but am looking for a much better understanding of the condition and most definitely the patient perspective. Definitely subscribing! :)
