    27 Year Old With MS

    Hi everyone, I have had MS for almost 5 years now. I was diagnosed back when I was 22. I am 27 now. I have a 7 year old son, and sometimes he complains about bees in his feet. I get so nervous when he says this, I am not sure if his feet just fell asleep or if he really is experiencing some tingling/numbness. I have been on 7 different MS medications and I am currently on Cytoxan. I have been on Betaseron, Tysabri, Rituximab, IVIG, Cellcept, Myfortic, and Gilenya. Nothing seems to stick for me, that is the problem. On each MRI that I get, there seems to be either more lesions or my current lesions are active. I am just nervous about everything, I feel like I am losing my mind sometimes.

    You've been through a lot in 5 years. I've found that many of us are on the anxious side of things, even before diagnosis. Was that the case for you?

    I understand it must make you crazy to hear him say that. I'm always looking at my kids. I try to calm my fears by giving them VitaminD. My 12 yo daughter's legs somtimes fall asleep, but I think it's just her sitting funny. I think you shouldn't jump to conclusions, but remain watchful for other symptoms being careful not to make either of you neurotic.

      I will check out that site, thank you. I definitely have some anxiety issues. I was diagnosed with MS in May of 2007 and then I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in September of 2007. Having a dual diagnosis in the same year was quite shocking. Also, because of having the bipolar disorder, I am not sure if the depression that I have been experiencing lately is from the MS or from the bipolar. Thank you for your response.. :-)
