I have all the symptoms of mulitple sclerosis, what now do i tell my doctor?

by Symptom Advice on December 16, 2010

alll my symptoms point to that. my doctor told me he thought it might be lupus, but all my symptoms point to that. they are both auto immune diseases so would the tests be the same for each? the pain got so bad today i couldnt stop crying :( . I just want to kno how to tell my doctor i have all the symptoms without him thinking im weird. thanks

You have to tell your doctor the truth. your doctor will not think you are weird and he would not tell anyone even if he did because everything is confidential. the sooner you get diagnosed and get treatment the sooner it will get better and the pain will stop. tell your doctor how much it hurts and and rating from 1-10 1 being hardly any pain 10 being unbearable.

I'm sorry you're going through this. :( Maybe you could write or type out a list of the symptoms you are experiencing, along with the frequency they occur, and take it to your next appointment? that way you wouldn't be overwhelmed trying to tell the doctor, and it would all be listed for him/her to review.

Tell your dr what you think and he can check that out too.
Just hang in there.
