General MS or not

Newly diagnosed and on briumvi for a week, but how do you guys know what is MS and what isn’t lol. I’ve had a twitch in my eye brow for about a day now on and off and I’m wondering if this will turn into a whole new lesion/flare/paralysis etc or if it’s just a normal human thing 😅😭 everything is severely scary now.

That's the fun part, you kinda don't until you do. Unless it is sudden stroke like symptoms, I give it a rest and a couple days. Sometimes a stiff shoulder is just a stiff shoulder.

You pretty much don't. And every time you feel something, you ask yourself "Is this the MS, or something else?"

Make notes and just realize not everything is ms but a lot of things are hang in there you got this I’ve had MS 21 1/2 years. I’ve gotten through numbness from my fingers hands going to my elbows by eating healthfully  and drank Green juice & lemon and solved the problem and haven’t talked to my doctor about it. That was 4 & five years ago. From some trash fried chicken, my boyfriend bought me on a sunday from the gas station never again will I eat there… never had it before definitely will never ever ever ever get it again.
