Scared, and looking for guidance.

I have always felt, off. My entire life. A few weeks ago, I woke up to numbness on the left side of my body. Over the course of a week, and numerous hospitals turning me away, the numbness progressed from part of my head, to the entirety of my left side down to my foot and excruciating pain in the b...

Moving to Mavenclad

Hi how have people done on Mavenclad? My neuro wants me to swap to it as most recent MRI showed enlargement of 2 lesions (after five years stable on Aubagio). Other one he offered is Kesimpta but I don’t like the sound of monthly injections and he was way keener on Mavenclad. Any thoughts welcome :)

BPPV anyone?

Two or three years back I had a bout of really bad vertigo. The neuro diagnosed me with BBPV and sent me to the ear clinic for exercises. I'm not sure what else to call it 😂 About a year ago, I discovered that I had an MRI in 2022 which showed brain stem lesions. This was picked up using a volum...

ecently had my MRI results and (as I kinda suspected after a rough few months) had new lesions.I'm currently on Plegridy (moved from Tecfidera as I'm JCV positive and my lymphocytes lowered a lot). Tecfidera worked ok for me, but Plegridy obviously hasn't been as effective. Due to the hard few months I've really isolated myself from people (some I'm unsure even how to reach out to again now) and live alone alone some of the time when my four children are at their mum's. Positive news is, they've mentioned Ocrevus and Kesimpta, which are obviously higher efficacy treatments. Could I ask for any advice people have around these DMTs, please? If you've seen me ask on Facebook or Instagram, then feel free to ignore and not repeat yourself.

Complacency comes before a fall…

Oh. Diagnosed 2020 aged 56. On Aubagio ever since. MRIs stable, no new symptoms, no new lesions. Had my annual MRI on Friday prior to my annual check up on July 1st. And then bam, call from MS neuro out of the blue requesting I go see him tomorrow as MRI is ‘not good news but not bad news’ and I may...

Just hi

Hi, I've just downloaded this app and want to day hi. I haven't been diagnosed despite multiple MRIs. I've had continuous numb, tingling, weak, unbalanced legs for 3 years. It came on suddenly after my partner broke up with me 3 years ago just after we had moved all our belongings from UK to Italy t...
