Uncertainty

So, I'm managing well on Tysabri, being completely symptom free. On the one hand - I appreciate every moment more and am very grateful that I feel "normal", and hope it will stay that way for a long time.

Undiagnosed - lots of waiting & uncertainty

Hi all, I’ve been reading a lot of posts and thought I’d share a bit about what’s happening with me and wanting to say hello and connect with others who might be experiencing similar. I’ve had lots of sensory symptoms, pins and needles, eye floaters and flashes, tinnitus, sensitive to touch, and at...

Uncertainty/ hopelessness

I got diagnosed with MS about 5 years ago and at first I was really positive. Now I’m getting towards 30 and feel like I should be more grown up (!) but I worry about what my future looks like.
