Hi everyone thought I’d be brave abd post so here it goes
I have had ms symptoms since 2021 but this is my worst flare up in that time, this time Ive got optic neuritis woth my other symptoms which is what led drs to taking me seriously for the first time.
I am 36 and a mum of 2
Had lots of bloods done all normal which they said they’d expect with MS now awaiting mri scan
Hello 
Hoping you get your mri appointment through quickly! Waiting is not fun place to be especially when you’ve been having symptoms for so long!
Glad they are taking you seriously now and are on their radar. There are lots of kind folk here who are helpful if you have any questions in the meantime.
Hope they get to the bottom of whats causing your symptoms and can give you the help you need quickly!
Welcome mate
Sorry to hear about your symptoms.
My blood tests also came up all clear before the diagnosis. Your MRI may give them some more info that they need to help you 
Unfortunately, you’re probably in a bit of a long game now - none of this seems to happen fast so, sit tight and hang in there for now 
Good luck and, all the best x
Jon.
hey there,
first things first: you’re not alone with this, so use this forum as much as you need. lots of people with lots of comfort and wisdom…
it’s a bit of a waiting game from here - it could all happen very quickly, or it could drag. the anxiety may be rumbling but do what you can to take it easy, keep stress to a minimum, and look after yourself in the meantime. like others have said, I am glad they are taking you seriously at last and the MRI will almost certainly answer a few questions..
all the best with it. let us know how it goes, if you want
