Diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis is tricky. Every person who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis can show differing symptoms which can make diagnosis a tough and sometimes lengthy process.
My Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis was a long winded process. I was originally told my symptoms were too sporadic and was transferred to a sleep consultant and diagnosed with possible Restless Leg Syndrome. It wasn't until I experienced some crazy vision problems I was finally diagnosed with multiple Sclerosis.
Before diagnosis my list of symptoms were:
- Chronic fatigue
- Headaches
- Skin/ limb pain and numbness
- Skin burning/ hot patches sensation
- Pins and needles
- Urge incontinence
- Itching
- Sight disturbance
- Eye/ visual disturbance and eye pain
- Spasticity
- Muscle stiffness
- Brain fog
- Co-ordination issues
- Dizziness
- Vertigo
- Neuralgia
- Restless legs
- Lhermitte's sign
- Digestive problems
- Limb weakness
- Sound sensitivity
- Temperature sensitivity
