What were your MS symptoms?

[Emmasian94]

I'm quite worried. For a few years now I have had an aching sensation in my right leg that comes and goes with no explanation. The doctors have been puzzled about it. I used to get migraines with aura but twice in the last year I feel as though I've had a few wiggles in my eyes that don't necessarily lead to any pain in my head and they disappear within an hour. Over the last year I have developed tingling sensations on patches of skin on my scalp predominantly, this was also since taking Levothyroxine. I also have periods of brain fog and getting stuck on words which I put down to my hypothyroidism (hashimotos). In the last 6 months I've been having very itchy patches of skin on my ankles. I have health anxiety anyway but I feel very concerned that something is going on and I'm terrified. Im currently pregnant and really struggling. Would like to know about other people's experiences. Thank you.

Hi, sorry to hear your are feeling anxious but congratulations on your pregnancy. I just wanted to say that generally people with MS don’t experience symptoms while pregnant, they usually feel really well. You’ll find info on that on MS trust or MS society website.

Has your GP looked at vitamin deficiency?

@thebestbarbara I was told the same about pregnancy generally being a protective factor. However, I experienced a major relapse at 3 months pregnant and had to start treatment.

Ah maybe I got lucky then. I was really well during my three pregnancies but did have relapses after giving birth. MS is so unpredictable and varied.
