Hello everyone......have you heard the news about long covid? The scientists have found a trigger in the immune system which is involved in this reaction. Hmmm, sounds like this is something closely related to the development of ms 🙄 Lets hope they think laterally.
This is very early days, but might offer some hope for the future?

Hello All,

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum but have joined due to having just been referred to a neurologist and not knowing what to expect. My current symptoms are:
Tremors (my primary symptom) - absent at rest, but present when I am active and worsen when I am stressed, tired, feeling hot
Muscle twitching/spasms - mainly my left shoulder makes a shrugging motion, and I'm finding other muscles (in my legs/hands) spasm if I am over-exerting them
Visual disturbances - I've been to the local optician who says there's nothing wrong - but I'm getting flashes usually in my peripheral vision which draws my attention and makes me look round to see what it was - also seeing "floaters"
Bladder issues - feeling a SUDDEN need to go but then not a lot happens / or really having to strain to get anything / or going but bladder still feeling full
Loss of concentration in the middle of a task - usually leading me to have several tasks (like washing the dishes etc) started but then I'll forget what I'm doing and walk off and remember about it later
Pins and needles in my right hand - only lasted a couple of hours
Keep going over my right ankle
Balance is terrible and I keep falling to the side
Migraines - I have never been prone to these but have several in the last year, starting with blurry patches in my vision, and with pain severe enough to cause vomiting and where I have no option but to try and sleep
I have had two occasions in the last few months where I was trying to do something fiddly (one where I was trying to turn over the pieces in a jigsaw) but I couldn't get my fingers to co-operate! Very frustrating and also a bit frightening.
Does anyone have an idea what this is? Is it similar to MS? I don't know anyone personally with MS who I can ask.
My GP, who only really knows about the tremors and visual disturbances, has referred me to the Neurologist and I am awaiting my first appointment with them. What can I expect to happen? I'm scared I'll forget to tell them something or end up just completely wasting their time.
Thanks for any information/advice you can give me...
