I am a 17 year old patient with Multiple Sclerosis I figured out when I was 16 having it up to a 30 year old, I've tried to make a document of all my symptoms I had wanted to share, I also experience anxiety from my past where I was bullied because I couldn't run from my foot going numb and painfully hurting when I was in 1st grade I wonder if its not from this disease I have had so many chest hug pains and it feels like I cannot do what I wanted too before now that I have these treatments I haven't experienced any more pain until the end of them ending with anger or when I first start the treatment I get really angry I cannot control my mood anymore nor am I walking normally like everyone else and having trouble with school as I cannot think anymore like I could I was diagnosed with a eye problem at 7 years old when my eye couldn't move it came back 9 years later then I was finally diagnosed with MS I am glad I figured out and hopefully with all these test I am doing from my doctor hopefully we all can get a treatment to end this disease..

@davidg17 - hello, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post here to where many members have been introducing themselves and a bit of their background with MS from 2016 all the way till the present:

- Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - please introduce yourself https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/multiple-sclerosis-ms-please-introduce-yourself/

Hoping others here such as @teresasangel @recruiterbreedm @wahoochar @westwoman3698 can relate to some of what you shared with your MS experience such as being bullied due to not being able to run, experiencing chest hug pains and an eye problem, and feeling anger and experiencing challenges with mood control. I'm guessing others who have had MS while in school can also relate to how it may have affected them as a student.

Are you still undergoing more testing with your doctor related to some of the issues you were experiencing with MS? If so, has he or she come to any conclusions about the status of your disease and the treatment plan?
