When do you mark the anniversary?

For those of you that mark the anniversary of your MS, do you count your official diagnosis date or go from your first symptoms? I had my first relapse last year in July, I was initially told it could be MS then, but later told by a neurologist it was unlikely until I had a few more relapses and ...

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...

Kesimpta and infections

Hi, since October 24 I’m using Kesimpta. It’s doing a great job, IB had any relapses since then. But because kesimpta wekens my immune system, I catches a cold. Since last October I suffer from a runny nose and a blockage in my ear canal. This causes me to always be short of breath, I smell and tas...

Might need a new MS DMT

Hi all, I was diagnosed with MS in 2020, and started Ocrevus shortly after. However, after 5 successful years on the drugs (no relapses!), I was diagnosed with very early stage breast cancer. Thankfully, we caught it early and post-mastectomy, I don’t need chemo. Still, my MS neurologist is strongl...

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...

Relapses lasting 7 months

I’m newly diagnosed with RRMS and my flair up has lasted 7 months already. I had my first dose of Tysabri last week and I’m just wondering if anyone’s relapse has improved and severe symptoms have got better? I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle at the moment.

Remission and Relapses

I was diagnosed at 21, been 10 years now, I’ve been in remission for about 7 years now, and I’ve only ever had relapse while not on treatmen, so I am glad to say my treatment (Ocrevus) is working! What is the longest you guys have been in remission? I do occasionally have fears of relapses but ...

MRI Results

Finally got my results, the MS is stable. I haven’t had any relapses since I started my meds a couple of years ago. However, I still feel terrible. The fatigue, the anxiety and the cog-fog is out of control. My body doesn’t feel right, something is off. I’m currently on a heart monitor to rule out a...
