First Post
Hi, I just wanted to make an introduction post. My names Allina, I was diagnosed with rrms at the end of September in 2022, right before I turned 18. I've been on treatment for roughly a year now, trying to slow the fast progression I was having. I'm a mother of two beautiful babies, a nursing student and a pharmacy technician (definitely get a lot of support from my husband). Right now my symptoms are fairly tame, mainly just headaches, brain fog and the leftover lower body numbness from my original flare up. I have been having a lot of joint pain recently, but have been told it's not ms related. Anyway, that's enough rambling. I'm so happy to have found a community! This disease is extremely isolating.
Hi Alina, welcome. I was 19 when I was dx. Yes you can take mitigating action now to slow disease progression, by following a healthy diet and having regular exercise. I remember I was in my late 20s before relapses/flare-ups started to become more frequent. I’m still ambulant now in my 40s. Best regards, JP
