Hello everyone. I was diagnosed just under two weeks ago although my neurologist is saying I have had MS for 6 years. When I first experienced this weird tingling feeling, my doctor told me that I was crazy. So for 6 years, I've been dealing with a variety of symptoms. About 3 yrs. ago, I diagnosed myself, based on a ton of information online.
In November my left arm, hand, neck, and head started tingling. I finally told my doctor that he needed to do whatever necessary to rule MS out and wouldn't you know...3 lesions on my brain and 3 on my spine. I feel relieved because now I can begin to treatment but I am NOT excited about the daily Copaxone shots. I'm currently waiting my all of the approvals to start the medicine. It's hard talking to my family about this so it's nice to have a place to share with people who are experiencing the same.
