New/worsening symptoms

Looking for a little advice please? I have had worsening of some of my ongoing symptoms like numbness/tingling and loss of taste and I've gained some new areas of numbness, pain, headaches and some dizziness. The last time I contacted the MS nurse regarding this type of thing I felt like I was buggi...

For the last 30 I have learned to deal with a large variety of MS symptoms/ side effects. The newest one is tremors (mostly in my arms).😒 I take medication which helps the internal felling, but doesn't eliminate the grand tremors in my arms. Has anyone else dealt with tremors? All thoughts are welcome. Thanks.😏

Before I got my MRI results back, I thought my mysterious symptoms were because of mercury poisoning from eating too much tuna

They have surprisingly similar symptoms, and then I got my results back and I was like, "Ohhhhhhhh"

Symptoms with no apparent cause

Most of the time I have a bunch of symptoms but every time I have a good MRI. Like, I'm so happy the MRI looks good but why do I always feel so crappy? Just complaining

Hi, I'm fairly new to the community. I was diagnosed with MS in 2001. I've tried several "old school" treatments such as Copaxone, Betaseron and Rebif. I went off all meds around 2015 because I got tired of feeling the flu like symptoms. I suffered a pretty bad exacerbation in 2016 where I was hospitalized for 7 days while I completed steroid infusions. My MRI at that time showed new scars, one of which was on my cervical spine. The steroids did me well for several years. I didn't have any new symptoms until 2023. I've had several MRI's since, all of which show no new scars. My neurologist has refused to treat me with steroids because I don't have new scars. I told him I was open to infusion therapy and we decided on Rituximab. I will be starting my first infusion on Monday, July 20th. Does anyone have experience with this particular medication? If so, has it improved your symptoms and what can I expect as far as any side effects? Thank you in advance for any feedback.😊

MRI vs Symptoms finally

So good news for me. I finally got an answer to my question. What symptoms do you expect based on my demylination and lesions. Since 2011 my symptoms all seemed random. The one thing at a time NHS way. They were never grouped for an overall possible diagnosis. Harder because thats where I worked and...
