Just wanted to say a quick hello and thank you to everyone who posts here. I’m not diagnosed but currently going through tests. Reading your experiences here has helped me through it and be prepared for what each test involved.
Currently MRIs show lesions in brain & spine and also OCBs in LP. These tests took me many years of asking & basically begging in appointments to finally be taken seriously.
For those who know something is wrong and may be feeling ignored, please keep on trying as only you know how you feel.
I’m currently pretending to be patient while the process happens and wanted to thank you all! Without reading here over the years I honestly would never have had the motivation to keep trying to get doctors to believe me that something wasn’t right, and hopefully soon I’ll know whats going on whatever it may be.

Hi @busybroccoli, so sorry to hear you’ve been having issues for so many years, and have had to fight hard to get the right tests done.
Waiting is never fun - I imagine especially when you’ve had health troubles for so long - so hope you’re able to do some fun things in the meantime to take your mind off everything when less is in your control.
I’ve also found this forum very helpful during the diagnosis process and hope you find out results soon / finally have a bit more clarity and a name for everything you’re dealing with.

Thanks @mackenzieblackman! You’re so right about this forum being helpful!
I do try to distract myself but still find myself daily checking the hospital portal for any more info even though I know from experiences people share here that the process takes a while. Hopefully soon the long wait will be over
