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...

I've just been diagnosed even though I've been attending the MS clinic for a few years. My neurologist has suggested I research dmt on the ms website and look at the various treatments. Any advice on DMT?

Electric shock pains

Has anyone got any tips for electric shock type pains? I went to MS nurse who said they were struggling as their only nurse prescriber had retired. They couldn’t see my neurologist for two weeks so advised me to go to my GP for advice. I went to my GP who told me it’s specialist medication and needs...

Mobility fun

Hi, hope you're doing ok today. Has anyone had any success with improving their mobility, either by exercise, lifting, doing more, doing less , etc? I try to do more but the more I do the less I feel I'm able to do. Maybe it's a recovery thing or I'm not following the right regimen. Any tips/ad...

Potential Issues with kesimpta?!

HELLO! I’ve been on kesimpta for 17 months, and ever since joining, I’ve had many weird and wonderful issues arise. Such as my legs, they’re suddenly weaker, painful, and tired. I’ve had non stop bladder problems, always in immense pain, and uncomfortable. My speech has gone out the window. I’ve no...

Ramification of torticollis nonsense and what happens when you have side effects with botox . After my latest round of Botox that I have every 3 months to deal with the torticollis new nonsense I now am choking every time I try to swallow something or God forbid eat something. This is not the diet plan I was looking for 🤦 I called the MS center for some advice on swallowing or rather navigating the new nonsense and then cold a different neurologist to try to get a second opinion. Of course I can't be seen until freaking August. No I don't want to go to the emergency room it's not an emergency simply going to the emergency room cost more money than my God damn mortgage. Luckily if I eat small bites of tiny things I'm able to choke down some food and cream of wheat works but damn it not cool. On the other hand my husband made a really cool attachment to a scooter we have so that we can hook my Walker onto it so that when we go on vacation I can take the walker with me at the beach when we drive around. It's the little things I'm such a lucky woman to have such a fabulous husband 🤩 and yes attitude is everything do what you can how you can when you can and everything else can f*** off 🤣

Any advice?

I've seen stories about other people who have gotten diagnosed at a young age, but do any of you have advice for it? I've spent the last 5 years going from Dr to Dr in multiple different states to find out what was wrong as my health was rapidly declining and only recently (last August) found out I ...
