I read online that people with MS don't have abdominal reflexes, so I started testing myself... and od course I can't see any reflexes, they're absent! :( It's a telltale sign od MS. I definitely have it. Plus all the muscle twitches and vision issues. I'm so petrified, I can't sleep or eat :( I'm so scared.

I read online

If I was to put my current symptoms (abdo pain, weight loss, night-waking, muscle atrophy) into Google it would come up with cancer. However, I've had all of these symptoms before and not had cancer. So these days, I leave it to the actual doctors.


( It's a telltale sign od MS. I definitely have it.

I was tested for MS (brain/spine MRIs) and diagnosed with the condition which mimics it - fibromyalgia. If you have MS, it will show up on imaging. You cannot diagnose yourself.


Plus all the muscle twitches and vision issues. I'm so petrified, I can't sleep or eat :( I'm so scared.

You have severe anxiety and muscle twitches and vision issues are common anxiety issues.

I went to a neurologist who said my reflexes were all normal, and my abdominal reflexes were beautiful. I also don't have any pathological reflexes that would suggest ms. She also told me that there is no way to test your own reflexes, it requires another person who knows how to get a response from your body and how to interpret them. So if anyone ever thinks of testing their reflexes - just don't. You'll only scare yourself.
