Hello

I am new here and at the start of the MS journey. I am in the process of a referral to neurology.

I’ve had a suspicion something is not right for over 2 years. When I first started getting ill, I was told I had COVID despite many negative tests. Then I got told I had Long COVID. Then I got told I had anxiety. I feel I have been fobbed off to some degree.
I recently have started with pins and needles in my legs and numbness in my foot. I nearly ended up in a car accident a few weeks ago because I couldnt feel my legs and hit the accelerator and not the brake. This scared me a lot so I went back to the GP.
The doctor was checking my strength in my foot today and the right was ok, the left started spasming uncontrollably and shaking. It wasn’t painful, just strange. I am just glad that we are now getting to the bottom of it.

Hi there

Good to hear that your symptoms are now being checked out and that you are in the process of getting referred to neurology. I hope the wait isn’t too long.
