Anyone Wondered If This Is Ms Not Fibro

I think people are right to say stop worrying or get it checked out. I do either of those. If it’s something minor like losing feeling in my fingers I put it down to fibro and don’t worry about it. If it’s something like me starting to fall while I’m standing up I ring the doctors and get it checked out

MS has official tests.

But it can also go undetected on MRI’s for years. 🫠

What’s got you asking, Lucy?

If it’s the tightness in your chest, ask your doctor about it! Tell them your concerns too. Let them help ease your anxieties. 🤗💜

There can be a lot of causes, and as you know more commonly for fibro sufferers it can be costochondritis. But the symptoms are very similar.

Make some notes for your doctor, maybe try tracking it for a month or so. Does it start the same way, on the same side every time? If not, how is it different? Is it cyclical, do you notice it the same time of day or month? Anything happen before hand, like a trigger you can identify? All the notes 🙃

Did you ever have your follow up with the OBGYN for your adhesions?

Yes, I thought that I had to have MS also for sure but they just did a brain MRI and it wasn't. I'm surprised that they found anything in there, lol!!
