Tysabri

I was diagnosed in April of this year and due to the number and location of lesions, recommended infusion Tysabri once a month. I had my first infusion and felt like I had a hangover for a month with some heaviness in my legs. My second infusion was a week ago and three days after my infusion I woke...

Back pains

So I woke up yesterday with lower back pains, painful enough to not let me stand up straight. I figured the muscles were tight or sore so I tried to stretch them out, but it lasted all day. I knew it had to be MS related because I had no indication of pain in the prior day . It’s Saturday I wake up...

Hi all. So I was diagnosed with MS last year October. Only four months ago I was prescribed with Tecfidera and then Kesimpta. Now my challenge is I am in Eswatini and we do not have these drugs. I’ve tried South Africa but it’s so difficult to get. Found everyone.org online but they require me to have a pharmacy license and their prices are through the roof. Can someone suggest where I can look or how I can go about getting the medication for someone in 3rd world Africa?

MS vs normal weirdness

Before MS my body would do something weird and I just shrugged it off. After MS anytime something slightly unusual happens I’m over here wondering if it’s a new symptom! I’ve always been a klutz but now every time my body doesn’t do exactly what I want it to I’m questioning if I should call my neur...

Hi just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, I have been having MS hugs, not sure why they are called hugs as hugs are nice MS hugs are far from nice, anyhow i have had them for months now some worse than others, I have had them at home and out and about, however not as bad as this last one I was travelling at 76mph on the Mway and had a really bad one,I could not pull over or off the Mway and I just wanted to curl up. It eventually passed after 10mins but it seemed like a lifetime. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and is there a way to ease the pain, thankyou
