First Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis | 5 Early Signs of Multiple Sclerosis — Life of Seb

So thankful for people like you. And you are forthcoming and to take the time to come here and explain this to help others surely shows the character that you have. So intelligent and caring. It was hard for you to have to go through so much to find answers to what you have and the MS should have been noted by the medical field, but it is true it is often dismissed and not looked at as a whole and just taken by each dr piece by piece then lose the whole picture this way. Like a puzzle they need all the pieces to diagnose. So, when all of these various things happening including sort of a dizzy feeling and off balance, plus maybe throat problems and just so many various things as no control of face movements and it is upsetting by neurologist should know about it. MS is hard to diagnose and they cannot always just find it in blood and if they cannot find it this way, they often just jump to conclusions that nothing is wrong. But one must not ever give up when they really know it is not normal what is doing on for them anyway. It may take time, but they will finally send you to the proper physician and you will be able to be diagnosed in the proper way. Am so glad you now are getting help and are doing okay and sharing with others as you know we all can have problems and we just may let them go and think maybe it is just that we think we have problems? We do not take it serious as the Dr's may send us home ignoring it all until it get too bad. You are a very special person, and it is nice you are able to come forward to help so many. try to be sure they are finally sure they either get diagnosed or have answers for what is going on with them in some way.

My wife became symptomatic at age 37 ...she was finally diagnosed with MS at age 39 . She has the slow progressive type for which there is no treatment. She gradually became quadriplegic except for some use of the left hand. I have been her 24/7 caregiver as she requires a catheter and toileting for the past 20 years. She now has decubitus ulcers on her buttocks and I can no longer care for her at home. She has been in an Hospice house for the past 2 months. She is now 82 and I am 83...it has been a long haul. Unfortunately we still do not have any good remedies for progressive neurological diseases .Although she has lived a long life...her quality of life has been very poor ...I still will miss her terribly.

I'm crying after watching this and thinking about my eldest brother. MS took him when he was only 50. He fought for 25 years. I miss him dearly.

I was diagnosed a month ago. I'm 51. There is a core of sadness that I've been going to the doctor for neurological symptoms since my early, 20s. Unfortunately, it was put down to mental health and a bad back. The joys of hindsight.

I had my first indication When I was 19and newly married. Lost the vision in my right eye. Went to hospital after a week they said there was nothing wrong with me. I was 52 before I was diagnosed. But I knew that I had MS long before because of episodes like you describe Seb. 86 now and still doing OK. ❤️

Hi Seb, I diagnosed myself at the age of 42, I had. Many symtoms which as in your case came and went and it wasnt until I experienced a year of unremitting symtoms including one leg feeling shorter than the other, face tingles over one side of my face and loosing my sense of taste , extreme fatigue and many more. I went to the doctor who told me I was neurotic. I then devloped severe double vision and took myself off to casualty and the hospital took me in for tests as by looking in my eyes they knew there was someting wrong. I suddenly started joining all the dots and said to them I think I have MS and they said I am sorry to confim your diagnosis is correct. I am now 76 and am still walking with the aid of crutches , don' t allow this ilness to define you or your life.

There was a study done Years Ago by a gentleman that is 17 year old son had come down with MS. He studied the world and found that anywhere that there was more than 4,000 vitamin D a day like near the equator nobody had Ms or diabetes. He put his son on high doses of Vitamin D 5000 units a day and his Ms stayed in remission

I admire you. I'm so tired of our health care system in the US! I've been going in circles for about 5 years now. My fight is wearing out!

God bless you son. I’m living with MS for 20 years now. My prayer is for a cure for the young people. I got to have a nice life for 45 years.

Hi Seb, i too can relate to the fatigue that seems to be induced with concentrated communication. I have been watching you ramble for about a year now (next week is my one year anniversary of my PPMS diagnosis) and wanted to take this moment to let you know how much you and others sharing has me come to grips with my MS. Thank You!

This was an excellent video for someone who fears they may have some of these specific symptoms of MS to look into. My paternal grandmother had MS, after getting hit by an out of control driver on her work lunch break with her co-workers crossing the street in 1949. Car accidents to the body can bring it on, she had a broken back and more. Thank you, and God Bless. ❤

Thank you posting this video. I pray that it will help someone who needs some encouragement to speak up about their early signs of MS. My daughter Lacy had several occasions where her face was numb or her leg would feel numb. The doctors didn’t take her seriously until the day she took a nap on a Sunday afternoon because she was abnormally tired and woke up with no sight in her left eye. Her eyesight never returned. They finally took her seriously and ran enough tests to diagnose her with MS. She was 25 years old in unfortunately her health deteriorated. About a year later she suffered a stroke. The artery that supplies blood to the brain near the back of her neck collapsed causing the stroke. She survived and spent over a month in the hospital and a few weeks in a nursing home for therapy. Due to the effects of all the steroids prescribed for her MS episodes and the stroke the arteries to her hip joints atrophied causing her hip joints to crumble. She had one hip replaced and a year later had the other one replaced. Unfortunately she passed away in her sleep one night when her heart just stopped beating. She was 28. I find myself wondering if she might have done better if they could have diagnosed her MS sooner. Thank you again for your efforts.

I have so many of the things you and other people describe as early ms symptoms.. I have been suspecting for a few months now that my numbness, tingling, spasticity, pain and speach impediment has everything to do with ms. Hope you are doing well, Seb, thank you for sharing your experiences with us, it really, really helps!

I'm 54, I was diagnosed at 33, I had exactly the same symptoms as you, along with severe lower back pain, and what I now know as ice pick headaches. I had all these symptoms for at least 10 years before I was diagnosed, I was brushed aside and told it was stress.

LORD JESUS I COME TO YOU RIGHT NOW PRAYING FOR MY FRIEND SEB, I PRAY THAT ALL SICKESS AND DISEASE GO FROM HIM, RIGHT NOW ,IN THE NAME OF JESUS !!!! BY HIS STRIPES YOU ARE HEALED SEB. AMEN

So sorry about your illness. 💔💔 May you find people who are able and willing to help you along your long, tough journey.

You are so good looking and there is something pleasant and calming in your voice even when you talk about scary stuff

Hi Seb I distinctly remember my first M.S. symptom it was when I was in Turkey on holiday with my wife. I was laying on my bed when I felt my right thigh had a slight tingle feeling wich went on for 2 weeks then went so I forgot all about it, then a few months later I was having a wee in my local pub when suddenly my right arm flew up and really started to hurt so the following morning I went straight to the hospital and over a period of 6 months I had loads of checks done I.e. M.R.I. scans an E.E.G. scan, loads of bloods taken from me and finally a lumber puncture done and was finally told I had M.S. so thats my diagnosis story. I have now had M.S. for 22 years and im still walking around but sometimes need my mobility scooter so seb good luck to you in health & life ✌ PEACE✌

This video was so informative. I have had most, if not all, of these symptoms. I've been diagnosed with a pinch nerve, sciatica, arthritis in my knee, low vitamin d, and carpal tunnel syndrome. I'M 53 yrs old and have never needed glasses. At 49,I had to get bifocals, and my eye doctor was baffled .My last episode was over a yr ago... now I'm experiencing several simultaneously. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was nine, and my right leg would lock up while sitting, and it was an excruciating pain. Mom always said it was growing pains....now most of my problems are on my right side. Thanks for sharing your journey

Thank you for this. My mom has MS. Her sister has MS. Whenever I’ve had an issue, the doctors would test me for MS; granted I’ve had some weird ones like optic neuritis. I’m 40 now. I don’t have MS, but I still regularly watch videos like this.
