Does it ever get better?(mini rant)

I’ve recently been diagnosed with RRMS. It’s been a rough couple of months that led to my diagnosis and it has taken every ounce in me and more to just hold it together and not let my life fall apart. According to my neuro I’ve had like three relapses in less than three months and have a lot of inf...

MS and gut bacteria

Interesting article on the potential culpability of gut bacteria in causing MS: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1086404 The article notes that there are likely multiple factors that come together (genetic, environmental, disease exposure) though the twin studies minimise these. Doesn't real...

does a yone else take this supplement? no one told me to, I just read it was essential for nerve regeneration & as MS effects nerves I just thought may as well take it. Also read it's water soluble so any excess is peed out so you can't overdo it? Does anyone have any thoughts on this 🙂

Has MS changed your personality? I think I was nicer before… I’ve been told MS can induce personality changes. I am not sure if it’s MS or just tired of the whole thing?

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...

Hi, I got diagnosed in January and started on medication after a very long wait about a month ago, unfortunately I had a very severe reaction to copaxone....I need to start another treatment however it's limited what I can take due to the fact me and my partner are trying for another baby just wondering what anyone else is or has taken whilst trying to conceive? My ms nurse keeps trying to push the infusion but due to the severe reaction I had after only 4 jabs I don't fancy 6 months worth at a time going into my body. Thanks for reading
