Diagnosis Finally!

Hey yall,

I spent years believing I have fibromyalgia. Even though none of the medications helped, I just believed I had a tough case.

Things that worked for me were anti-inflammatories and steroids. Savella made me ill and did nothing. Wellbutrin helped my fatigue tremendously.

Last year I started to cry for no reason on occasion, then could not drive properly, and then could not walk well. After a while, I remembered the probable MS thing and went to the neuro.

Turned out, I had been diagnosed by an eye specialist two years ago, and my rheumy did not notice it on my electronic record. I have MS.

My neurologist confirmed it in August.

I hope all of you are well, and your doc takes great care of you. You guys were a lot of help and comfort to me and I will not forget your kindness. ( A lot kinder than some of the probable MS forums I visited.)

Take care and be well.

Ditto to what Sherrine said! I'm sure it's a relief to finally get a diagnosis. Wishing you the very best!

I agree! That's what I told my sister today. All those years being treated improperly made me more sick. I hope the best for you all as well.
