Hello

Hi everyone, I’m new here 👋 I was diagnosed in December 2024, my first symptom was numbness in my legs back in 2021-22, then optic neuritis in 2023 had landed me in the hospital and so began my MS journey. During that time I was just a few wks shy of moving from upstate NY to the UK for school - it...

My MS

I like to say I just have MS. I don’t let it define me. I’m on a good treatment plan and I just manage symptoms and flares. I’m very fortunate and blessed that mine only causes numbness in my back and I get a lot of twitching and burning down my legs.

I’ve been living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for quite some time, and for years, I struggled to find lasting relief or stability. Medications helped manage some symptoms, but flare ups, fatigue, and neurological discomfort would always return sometimes worse than before. It left me feeling drained,...

Scared of disease progression even with DMT (long read)

I’m relatively new to this whole MS thing having gotten recently diagnosed and I haven’t had enough time to process this given that I’ve been distracting myself with work so much. To my detriment at times. My diagnosis has been a bit weird and quite dramatic but I’ll just vent here and hopefully s...

Burning and tingling feeling

Hi I am on Kesimpta and it is great, but I have this burning sensation on the outer left thigh , numbness and tingling on the left leg. Is pretty much all the time. Anyone have similar symptoms and how do you manage it?

Im looking for advice? I will be 57 this month and I met with neurology nurse practitioner today. I have spinal stuff going on that could explain my numbness in my arms and the tingling but what led me to them is my frequent falling. I've fallen 3 times in 8 months. Once in the shower. Second time at a childcare center because I work with behavioral children and I fell broke my wrist and I thought I did something to my neck, bit through my lip. Then several weeks ago I just face planted in the garage and broke my nose. The mri did show lesions but I'm pretty old to be diagnosed. Im not sure I want to be diagnosed at this age? Should I even pursue it? Im so confused? Im not one to stick my head in the ground but I also don't want to sit around and get worse. I have other symptoms and I've fallen many times before here and there and just chalked it up to me being clumsy. I could use some advice?

Does anyone else get fingertip numbness in only one hand? Lately I have been experiencing fingertip numbness in only my right hand and according to my last set of MRIs a year ago I only have 17 brain lesions. Anyone else go through this?

One sided or both sided pain?

My doctor implies if I feel pins and needles, numbness, pain in both legs it's not MS as MS symptoms are one sided. Is this true ???
