Hello! I'm looking for guidance and hoping it's here. How did you find out or what led to the diagnosis of MS? I've been experiencing a slew of issues that been ongoing for years and only increasing as time goes on or becoming significantly worse. Sometimes the issues come and go in spurts for a period of time and then I may have some good days. I don't want to sound like I'm crazy or just trying to put a label on it but I'm beginning to wonder if it's just coincidence and aging (I'm 36) or if there is more to my health and MS has been on my mind just not sure how to approach it. The following are the ongoing issues I've been experiencing and I'm wondering if these are all MS related:
- Migraines (going on 19 years), with some migraines i may experience lip numbness. My migraines typically last 3 days at a time and i spend about 12 days a month with headache/migraine.
- Lower Back Pain (sometimes so bad it hurts to bend over or take stairs, even lay down)
- left hip pain when laying down
- left leg pain like pinch nerve
- left knee stiff and painful (2 years of on/off for weeks on end of painful to bend and use)
- pins and needles feeling in hands and feet on occasion or if i sit too long in a chair
- dizzy when bending over 50% of time
- right eye floaters on occasion
- fatigue
- no libido
- frequent urination
- disturbed sleep
- irregular bleeding (i shouldn't have period at all with the BCP i'm on)
- blurry vision in right eye (this is most recent occurrence)
This is the honest truth about the list of ongoing issues I have on regular basis. I'm getting ready to go to a different neurologist in June and wanted to approach the MS subject but came here first to get some feedback first and appreciate everyone's time and opinions. Thank you!
