Bailey, I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of this at such a young age. I'm 38 and afraid, so I can't imagine what it's like for you. All I know is you need to get to the right people. My thoughts are with you.

I am sorry to read you are having these issues and at such a young age. I can understand why you are correct ñ earned. You don't mention having seen a doctor. You should really start at the beginning and have a thorough physical and blood work done. You may find your answers there and, if not, then further avenues can be explored. You might have problems in your spine or problems with nerves. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Bailey do not let the label scare you
I have the disease 35 years. I'm having a lot of trouble walking now but stay as active as possible Here are some tips that kept me in remission
Exercise a lot even when you don't feel well. Avoid all preservatives. Cut gluten out of your diet Always stay positive if you can't do something, do something else to replace it. See alternative doctors as well as a neurologist go to a neurologist that specializes in MS they have access to clinical trials and can advise you better.
Make sure you don't have Lyme disease
You can beat this !

Hi Bailey,
I'm sorry to hear of your symptoms. It must be really frightening. But, I urge you to see your primary care physician asap for a complete work-up and physical. If nothing comes of it, I would ask for a referral to a neurologist. I wouldn't wait.
