    My wife's neurologist misdiagnosed my wife's MS as a stroke for eight years. After that he diagnosed MS which she had for 26 years before she passed. She was unable to ambulate for the last 15 years. I was her carer for almost all that time and it had a very significant impact on my own health. I had a heart attack and pneumonia after being her carer for so long.

    I'm 18 and was recently diagnosed with RRMS. She ordered me to get an mri, and then a lumbar puncture. She showed me my MRI, and there were small dark areas (it almost looked as if that part of my brain didn't have any light or something). Then I got the results of my lumbar puncture and basically confirmed that the pathogens I had and all the proteins and strips of whatever is in spinal fluid was able for her tell me, "so the results are showing obvious signs of multiple sclerosis" and then she explained to me how it works, why my IGG proteins were so high. She explained each section of the result and was able to answer all my questions.

    I was diagnosed within 5 days of my very first attack. Woke up, had tingly feet which quickly spread up to my waist and turned into the most painful pins and needle sensations. I was then admitted to the hospital and given 3 MRIs within 5 days. That was all 20 years ago as of this September!

I think everyone experiences it in a different way. I've interviewed a few people on my channel about their experiences with MS if you want to check it out- hear how other people experience it.

    I spent 5-1/2 years going to the Mellen Center at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Rae-Grant. I was sent to at least five other specialists because he didn’t think I had MS. Yet, the other specialists kept sending me back to him saying I most likely did! In all those years, he refused to diagnose me. I’m on disability, my husband is on social security, and our savings account was bled dry. Over 50 trips up there! Multiple tests, pokes, spinal taps (which showed MS properties), MRIs, CAT scans, you name it...I probably had it. Some were so painful! I drew the line when they wanted to do a biopsy of my brain toward the end. My husband and I are very, very disappointed in this group of doctors!

    Along with about fifty other symptoms, I get these random, debilitating muscle spasms in my abdomen. It feels like my diaphragm. It can last for seconds or minutes. Recently, I had pain and constriction around my whole torso, from the middle back, ribs, and chest. This went on/off for about a week. Could this be the “MS hug”?
    I was referred to a neurologist years ago, for an MS assessment. But, these symptoms come and go. So everytime I feel better, I think I’m fine. But, they always return. And I’m really bad about going to the doctor when I should. I keep wondering if this is RRMS.

      Conversion disorder is an outdated term used in psychology referring to “it’s all in your head.” The term is defined as converting psychological or mental thoughts or anger toward your parents etc., into physical discomforts. You do not have conversion disorder. This is the mental health fields cruel joke on society.
