My daughter in law in Australia, had symptoms end of July this year. Had the MRI, which she and her mum insisted on because the doctor treated her like a neurotic anxious person, saw a neurologist 4 days later and started her treatment 8 days later, 3 weeks after her symptoms. All treatment is free. Welcome to Australia.
Hello, first of all thank you for sharing your experience with us, you are so brave. I am 22 at the time and I was diagnosed this year in February, I am so scared but I try to stay positive and continue on with life. It is so hard to accept and process the diagnosis and the new changes in your body and life, but we are fighting every day ❤
@@ClaudiaGarcia-ir4qx Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate them. Getting diagnosed at such a young age with a life-changing condition is scary, and it feels so unfair, I know. But we must make the best of it while we are still as healthy as we can be. Don’t hang your head!
I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel scared with everything that's happening. I have been in that position before. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way! I hope everything turns out well!
Hi there from Perth Western Australia…I developed MS aged 28…now 64 OMG it sounds so old but I’m still the same person! I’m still ok fortunately… although it has been a full time job keeping healthy, emotionally, spiritually, physically and psychologically. If you haven’t heard of OMS, I definitely recommend it. Overcoming MS, by George Jelinek. He has MS, is a medical physician and much more. He’s written several books by the same title and has a fabulous website. Diet is paramount, although I don’t follow it 100%. His evidence based research and knowledge of MS is world class. I also follow two American doctors on RUclips , for up to date information on MS…I’ll check their names and post them. It’s late at night and I can’t think of them😱Warmest regards from Raelene🇦🇺🦘
Aaron Boster and Brandon Beaber…you probably know these American guys…I wish they were around when I was first diagnosed. There were MANY years with little to no information available to me then. Keep well and keep yourself informed and get in touch with your nearest MS society for networking as it can be very isolating at when you’re not feeling great with symptoms…x
Jesus i wish i had your lumbar punture , mine was brutal. She had to go in 5 times, when she finally got it i near cried tears of releif lol. Never seen the needle but then watched the substance a fortnight later.. its a bit mental they said you wouldnt make it past 50
I think you decided very well with ur medication. It is good to take things slow, overthink stuff twice. Talk to different doctors. And you never know especially at the beginning if ur affected or not. Even with MS a DMT is not always necessary. Just like the disease.

Thank you for explaining. I’m going in for brain / cervical contrast tomorrow. Strange symptoms going on. I’m very scared 😱

Oh lord, that sounds like an absolute nightmare. Thank god you have it done and over with! It sure is quite messed up that they said that :'D!
That "doctor" is ignorant. Doctors need to educate themselves or be prepared to step down.
I totally agree.

Find a new dr, you will live much longer than 50
Agreed! I looked for a new one indeed.
