Sorry for your MS issues too. You are a runner and was on the right track. MS seems to get you right there in the middle of your life. You are a beautiful couple. Thanks for sharing. Fellow on MS journey.❤
I just want to say what a brilliant team you both make..it's so great to see your wife so close to you and by your side through your journey. It's a journey for all of you at home I guess. I'm going through a long haul of tests amd it's taking forever, however I am lucky like you, and have an amazing wife and family supporting me. Keep pushing and living life to the fullest. All the best
Hello, I know this is years later. Just wanted to ask how the spinal tap results showed MS ?? I’m struggling myself for over 6 months with Walking , numbness and tingling. It’s all on the left side. No diagnosis yet. No lesions but the spinal tap showed some things. Like you I just seen one test result that was From Kappa free light chains and I knew at that moment what it was. Although my neurologist thinks it’s stress and anxiety. Something is telling me it’s MS . Been struggling for years with different symptoms. Always comes back with Anxiety and stress. Hope your doing well. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thankyou. I'v got up to a year waiting list to see the neurologist. I have fatigue,pain and walking difficulties,as well as numbness and other symptoms,although I can't help having Ms at the back of my mind.
I hope this reaches you. I think I may have MS and have been watching videos. I pray you are well Thank you for your videos and information they provide as well as you positive attitude. God bless you
Oh my gosh, I understand what you're talking about, having a new baby AND having weird things going on with your system. I've been going through this since I was about 10. It was just weird things but I couldn't get anyone to hear me , this was late 70's early 80's and I was a kid. I think yhat my first recognizable flare was in 2014 when I lost my husband. I was finally diagnosed in 2022. But you know what? I'm grateful for the diagnosis because now I can address it. I've been going through the grieving stage of "what could have been if I had been diagnosed 40 years ago"!!!! It's been so upsetting. However, I think that I've finally turned a corner. I've been watching a lot of videos and I've discovered that some doctors WOULDN'T say anything if they suspected MS because there just weren't good medications at that time. Secondly, I honestly don't know that I would have gone as far in life. I went so long without being heard that I just had to be resilient, suck it up, put on blinders and forge ahead regardless of the circumstances or outcome. I was so very lucky IMHO that I could do so and that I hadn't been hospitalized, honestly I've felt close on many occasions. I do finally feel vindicated that I have proof that I'm not an attention seeking, lazy, hypochondriac....I was an Industrial Electrician.
I’m glad to hear you say that you knew you had ms. My wife and I tried for several years to have a baby and at some point I told her I know that it’s me, I can’t have children. She said “How do you know that?” I said I just know. Here we are twenty years later and still no babies. I’ve had lots of different symptoms that come and go for many years and I’ve known for a long time that there is something wrong with me and I’ve had autoimmune disorder in the back of my mind. Recently I’ve had a flare up of symptoms and they are getting progressively worse, to the point now that I’ve started looking for answers. I started watching various videos about autoimmune diseases and once I came to the ms videos it clicked and I know that that’s what I have. My journey toward diagnosis is just beginning.

Thanks for this video. I have been through many videos but this is the first that was from a runner. I'm a runner and have done several marathons and one ultra. It's my passion but in the last few months I've been struggling. Without too much detail I've had odd symptoms that came in episodes for years that were addressed separately. Vertigo, extreme fatigue, back problems, blurry vision, etc. I'd worry for the few weeks, I'd deal with it, see a doctor here or there, but when it passed I'd put it behind me. I recently had a great summer of trail running and my first ultra. Then I started to have extreme fatigue. A few miles in my legs would turn to cement and my right leg would feel heavier. I took time off and had several restarts that just ended in not being able to complete runs. I tried a race last week and while I managed to complete it, I struggled a lot and I think trying to compensate for my leg I caused hip pain. My hands and feet went numb as well. Have been having episodes of numbness and had two days where my left side was numb. Currently going through testing but wanted to let you know that the runner's perspective helped me a lot. I turn 50 next year and wanted to run a 50 miler, but I can't see that happening right now when 4 or 5 miles is a struggle. I'm off to look through your other videos. Thanks again!
Hi Luke, Are you still doing videos? I am interested in further discussing filming you for a piece to help newly diagnosed MS patients. If so, please email me at kelly@redrockfilms.net
you sound just like me. I have experiencing your symptoms for 10 years. I'm now 44. a month ago I started muscle twitching, now dizziness and spacicity and some numbness. finally going to the doctor to hopefully get answers. I have not been diagnosed. your story about sitting in a car resonates with me.
You need to go on a alkaline diet plus fasting for about a half a year and you should be cured by then the only true medicine is what God gave us herbs natural plants that's the things that will cure you is thousands of people been cured over the same I hope you read this and if you do please leave a comment
I’m going through a similar process right now. Went to the dr a week ago about numbness in left arm and leg. A week later, full body tingling, arms / legs spasticity, face going numb, ED, and on and on. Met with head neurologist luckily enough since he was in the ER. Did a bunch of motor tests and everything checked out. Scheduled and MRI, but he thinks it will come back clean. So far it’s a whole lot of “we don’t know- need more tests”, and “here’s some Ativan”. They can’t even talk about possible lifestyle changes it it happens to be MS. Family dr thinks there’s no science to back up anti-inflammatory diets. I spent 48 hours in emerg (Canada) and there’s no diagnosis. No real tips for managing symptoms either. At least the head neurologist saw me and scheduled an MRI. Hopefully that gives them some concrete evidence to move the diagnosis along. And family are also reluctant to accept a diagnosis of MS without hearing it from a doctor, even though I’m pretty sure it’s MS. Living with auto-immune symptoms but no one supporting you is very challenging
Dear Luke, this is one of the best videos I think you've ever done. Completely honest and forthcoming. I just want you to know that I really respect you and that my prayers and support are with you from here in London. I need to catch up with your videos - as this was posted in 2017, but hope that you're doing better. I have dealt with depression and I am also a Christian, so I know what you're talking about. Prayers and Love are with you. Will be catching up on your posts. God Bless. XX
It's interesting that many of the people I've watched on YT are people who push themselves, are high achievers or conversely seem to have low self esteem and then are very hard on themselves when they think they've failed (despite the fact they achieve more than most. I mean the doc says take up running and you decide to run marathons. What's wrong with a couple of laps round the park? Lol.) MS is an autoimmune disease, i.e. the body is attacking itself. Is this a reflection of a mind attacking itself I wonder....Is it all just about an underlying belief that you're just not enough?🤔
Very interesting...very interesting indeed. I was one of those ppl who felt i "wasnt good enough" either. Partly from being in a toxic relationship where I couldn't do anything right and everybody else (other women) seemed to be so much better than me. I started having physical symptoms after while and now I have three autoimmune diseases that don't run in my family. Makes you wonder
hi luke. were you prescribed anti depressants? if so which ones? i have ms. i have problems with vision and balance. ssris are no good for me i get migraine headaches. ive tried venlafaxine but it exacerbates my vision and balance problems. thank you for sharing xx all the best to you and your beautiful family xx
Fatigue is so hard to explain. Its like going to sleep but you only rested your eyes because the rest of you feels like you have worked all night. You wake up bone with your bones tired and achy like flu.
Love what you are doing and that you are walking in your power and taking control of your life. You are inspiring ... I hope this bring you all you need and more. .... I'm cheering you on from over here!! ~Elizabeth :)
