Hello 😀
Hello All I was diagnosed with MS back in 2003 I’ve had my ups and down I’ve never been on any forums like this before so all new to me after pushing my doctor I’ve managed to have another MRI after 17 years to see how my MS has progressed and awaiting results next week @ 39 now I am worried to be honest as my symptoms are getting worse my most worrying is my legs struggling to walk for long time any advice on meds anybody is taking that helps ? I have blurred vision at times but had that from begging my cure is sit relax and do nothing and in all these years the only medication I have taken is paracetamol lol. And honestly helps but now I think I need more help any advice would be appreciated
Many Thanks take care everybody
Hi @zackhussain I have PPMS and am surprised it has been 17years since the last MRI! I am on Ocrevus to hopefully halt the progression and have come to accept that until Myelin can be repaired I will have to live as I am
Hello @zackhussain, welcome to Shift, glad you joined. It's great for advice, chatting or even rating and raging. I cannot believe you've been left for 17 years with no MRI, that's shocking. Maybe you need to switch to a more proactive hospital, which your GP could organise. Are you managing to work? On this site we ae big fans of Dr Aaron Boster clips to explain MS on YouTube, so check those out. The world of medication has advanced rapidly over the last decade or so, in terms of treating symptoms and also for disease modifying treatments. It would be great to hear how you get at at your appointment, all the best :-)
