My name is Sierra. I am a 19 year old college student who has recently been told that I have a major possibility of having Multiple Sclerosis. I have loss of vision in my left eye, joint pain that is chronic and increased difficulty in breathing. I am in pain 80 percent of the time to where I have to limit what activities I do. I get chronic headaches.
I have been having symptoms for the past two and a half years. I have seen many doctors and specialist about my reoccurring symptoms to rule out any other possible causes.
I am very nervous to get a lumbar puncture and to go through all this at such a young age. I know that it is horrible for anyone to go through this and I admire anyone who has for their strength.
I wasn't really sure what to ask, I don't know much about MS and I was too scared to ask my doctors. If someone could just explain things like tests and therapies that I might have to go through I would be very appreciative.
Thank you
