      @@mzvictoria8842 I was non ocrevus for over 3 years and felt great and no new legions from mri scans. But, in the last year I had numerous utis for no real reason. My neurogist felt it was safe to get off ocrevus and see how I do. So far so good but I need a new mri to know for sure.

    Hi Seb there, please have your digestion and gut microbiome checked to see if you have any problem.
    I have had lots of symptoms of ms over the past 6 months and even years prior to that, started as tingling in my arm, tingling lower legs and feet, slightly blurred peripheral vision, dizziness, sensitivity in bladder, fatigue, etc...
    I waited for my 'urgent' neurology appointment for 5 months.
    In meanwhile I've done lots of research about ms and connection with your gut health and I've decided to take healing in my own hands(didn't have much of a choice).
    I've had some specialized stool test and gut test done to uncover what is the matter with my digestion as I've had IBS for yours and never would I have thought that it could mess up so badly with whole body and even nervous system.
    I've found that I have sibo (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) and bad gut dysbiosis. I'm now taking some antimicrobials to deal with it.
    My symptoms of ms have been slowly getting better/disappearing. I'm still sometimes experiencing buzzing feeling in my feet but it's getting less as my digestion improves.
    Recently I've been finally sent to have MRI for my brain and spine and they found nothing, which was a massive relief.
    There is a definite connection of ms and gut dysbiosis and I believe that lots of people can combat this scary condition by completely healing their gut and a healthy lifestyle. I read a few books by people who managed to heal from ms.
    Just wanted to say, don't give up and think you need to live with this.
    Investigate what is off with your body otherwise and focus on healing all aspects of your life which is not in balance.
    It's a long journey but I really believe it can be done.
    I started by googling people who overcame it and that gave me a hope. People like that are around, even if medical doctors will tell you otherwise.

    Hi Sarah :) I hope you are still doing well? I will hit the sub button so I can catch your next video, I love seeing you smile and hearing your positivity. I am not diagnosed with MS, I was diagnosed with POTS last week and am going for a brain MRI Tuesday. The POTS may or may not exist, but I know there is something much more serious going on. I am very dizzy 24 hrs per day, much worse when I am upright and/or in the heat and I have to use a cane to walk ( I still fall a lot. I am almost blind in my right eye and getting worse, I have numbness in my right arm, right hand and left leg. I have HORRIBLE pain behind my eyes, ears ringing, high blood pressure and more........ Anyway, you seem to be as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside and we need more people with your attitude to be in healthcare. You rock, God bless you and yours......
    P.S.... I hope you kept the Trader Joes shirt ;)

    Good news! Congrats and hi I'm new here. I have PPMS I'm in a clinical trial here in Greece where I'm taking Fenebrutinib or Ocrevus or placebo. I think the Ocrevus is the original. I will have my MRI results 4th of January :) Hope it will all go well.Have a great day you and your boyfriend! Hello from Greece :)
    edit:I don't have news from the MRI cause it's clinical trial. My doctor can't say anything to me and the results go to the company that made the drug..But I feel the stabilization already....

Finally, I realize that I'm watching the grown up version of the toddler that came to visit us in New Jersey, went to the Bronx Zoo, sat with a big, pink bear (as big as you were) and ate something chocolate and got it all over herself! What an amazing person!!! Love you.

    Hi Sarah, I just found your channel and I want to thank you for such amazing content. My daughter who is a 29 year old medical school student was diagnosed just this November with MS. In one of your videos you mentioned you may be interviewing or speaking to your family and how this diagnosis has effected them. I'm hoping that is coming soon as I am definitely looking for content related to what I can do as a Mom to help my daughter continue to be as fearless and rare and real as you have been through your journey. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I'm so thankful to have found you here. Keep up the good fight, you're worth it.

    Hi, glad you got good news. I’m in the process of getting tested. Such a long and frustrating ordeal waiting to find out but hopefully I’ll have my answer. My symptoms are left leg constant tingle/sharp jolts up and down my leg and at times my whole left leg going numb and a handful of times waking up to my left arm being numb. I’ve had three MRI’s already on my back multiple bulging discs but there are also lesions on my cervical spine. Dr wants to do yet another mri but of my brain this time to confirm or deny his suspicions which is that I have ms. It’s a scary thought and waiting game but at least I will have a answer to what is possibly going on
