(ALL USEFUL LINKS BELOW!) Hello everyone, I finally feel ready to share my MS diagnosis story. It includes a bit about what Multiple Sclerosis is, my symptoms that led to my diagnosis, the diagnosis process for RRMS and my experience so far of what it is like living with MS. This video doesn't contain absolutely everything I wanted to say because there is so much more from this period of time, but it hopefully gives an understanding of my experience and is helpful in some way whether it is learning something new, supporting someone else going through a chronic illness diagnosis or making you feel less alone if you are also a young person living with MS.

As I say in the video, this is entirely based on my own personal experience - I am not a doctor and I don't claim to know everything - everyone with MS will have a completely different experience it is not the same for any two people. I am also not looking for advice or suggestions in the comments, I am really happy with my care from my MS nurse, MS specialist consultant and with my treatment plan. Please do feel free to comment below about your diagnosis if you so wish or to ask any questions as I will soon be filming a Q&A video!

I found the Instagram page one sleepless night shortly after hospital and it made me cry reading everyone's stories and finally finding people who looked like me going through the same thing. There is also a private Facebook group which you can join.
