Regroup...

[Heather3418]

I need to regroup.  I need your assistance.  With as fast as people are coming to the board, I cannot keep up with everyone.  So I'd like to ask, maybe it would be easier for all of us, if we could list our "forum names;" "diagnosed or undiagnosed;" and if not MS, then what your doctors are saying that you have.  If you would like, also put your age if you feel comfortable doing so, so it can give us all an idea just by looking, what "age group" these symptoms and diagnosis are affecting.

I'll start....

BUMP BUMP BUMP...................
Took me ages to find this. Anyone had any radical changes or  anyone not on here that wants to add their brief history. It really helps to keep it straight when reading posts.

Hi, Erica here, almost 43, undiagnosed, sx for a few years, in varying degrees at different times, told possible ms, no lesions, though.

sx, kind of, well, short version, lol:

fatigue, sensory issues, weakness, visual disturbances, bowel/bladder issues, incoordination, balance issues, cognitive - big time lol.  

a 'kind' psychiatrist who met me for a 30 minute appt and read that I had been tested lots, with no diagnostic outcome, decided I must have some somatization disorder, hmmm.
