I have been experiencing what I call
shooting pains throughout my body all
over. I feel these pains come on
anywhere in my body at any given time.
They only last for several seconds, but
they can be pretty painful sometimes.
Then the pain can change places in my body
and go to another area within seconds. I
have been feeling these types of pain for
a while now, but I cant get in to see a
neurologist for another 2 months and I am
starting to become very concerned with the
symptoms that I have. Also I feel very
fatigured the majority of the time . I
am not sure what it is that I am
experiencing but could someone help send
me in the right direction? Also, could
someone let me know how long a person
could have symptoms of ms before they are
actually diagnosed? How long can a person
have ms before actually finding out they
have it ?

Ms Symptoms Posted: 12-12-03 16:48pm
Hi, about a year ago I had abnormal mri
and started doctoring at mayo to find out
what was going on. My symtoms were
blurry vision, loss of control of my legs
and hands, muscle spasms, numbness in
face, etc. Doctors at mayo think it's ms
but haven't had that diagnosis as of yet.
Some days are better than others but
basically keep living normal. Lately
have been having more symptoms and am
considering having another mri to see if
it's active ms. Very frustrating.

Signs of Ms? Posted: 12-12-03 17:01pm
Well along with the symptoms that I have
had with the shooting pains, I have also
been very fatigued. This has been going
on for a long time. Recently though I
have had real bad migranes, with shooting
stabbing pains in the lft side of my head.
This has happened twice, and left me
with a chilling sensation throughout my
whole body becuase the pain was so severe.
I have had consistent muscle spasm in
both of my legs and in my hand.
Recently, I just gor the results of my b12
tests, and it came back low, which im not
sure why. Im not sure exactly what is
going on, but I do know that it is
something. My muscles feel weak and
fatigued too most of the time. I will
see the neurologist, but that will not be
unitl january 29. If anyone has more of
a response to maybe what is going on with
me then it would greatly be appreciated.
I do know though that for the person that
posteda reply to me before that I am sorry
they have been experiencing those type of
symptoms and not having an actual
diagnosis. I can only imagine how
fustrating it truley is, becuase I know
how fustrated I am too. Thanks for your
reply.

All of You With Ms Symptoms Posted: 07-18-05 20:19pm
Hello everyone-
i've read many of your postings of the
symptoms you are experiencing that appear
to be ms or perhaps, developing ms. I
want all of you to know that their is hope
and their is something you can do that
most medical doctors will not tell you!
First, I was diagnosed with optic neuritis
almost 4 years ago. I had muscular pain,
loss of vision in both eyes, much fatigue,
dizziness, nausea, etc...You all know.
The doctors said that my mri's and ct
scans were clear for now and sent me home.
Later I found a holistic doctor by the
name of elson haas. He has written many
books among which is "the detox diet." I
was skeptical at first but I was feeling
miserable and deathly afraid of ms. So,
I went through this book and followed the
program. It was very difficult b/c i'm
not that disciplined but slowly my
symptoms improved. I regained my vision
in the left eye. He put me on a strict
regimen of 2000mg of calcium and 1000 of
magnesium as well as coq10 and a multi
vitamin twice a day. Today, nearly four
years later. I'm ms free and most of my
symptoms are gone or very minor.
No matter what they tell you all there is
hope. Believe me. If I could do it so
can you. There is a lot more to
holistics than they tell you and i've
looked at much research that points toward
a low immune system as being part of the
cause of ms. So, steroids and other
medical drugs are not always the answer.
Good luck to all of you.

Yes...Symptoms are believed to show up
young and progress but they dont have to.
