So it has been a while since I was last here. I have had a couple of new autoimmune conditions to join the party that is my body.

As of now I have an aunt with lupus and 2 cousins with celiacs disease. I am the only one with M.S. I am curious if anyone else has similar illnesses in their family.

This is just a little rant... PIP. What a waste of time! My decision letter arrived and the report wasn't even close to what I wrote and spoke about in the assessment. It doesn't even reflect the letter I sent in supporting evidence from my neurologist. It's left me feeling like I've been complete...

I had optic neuritis in left eye back in April of 2020, I was in between insurance coverage and couldn't get treatment so it lasted 5 long weeks. I have slight damage to that optic nerve. Well, I had two MRIs after that showing no lesions. My neurologist told me to wait to see if I developed any new...

Hi there, I’m new to the forum and worried that I might have MS. I’m 45 and have been experiencing chronic fatigue for several years, which I put down to the early onset of menopause and motherhood. I’ve been on HRT since 2018 which has helped with all symptoms except the fatigue. When I say fatig...

I have Autoimmune Hashimoto’s which I’ve had for 20 years. Last year I had an episode of left leg and left arm weakness, had an MRI which showed up mild non specific white matter, possible demyelination. I was offered a lumbar puncture but too scared to have one! I am now experiencing extreme tire...

Hi! I got diagnosed with MS 10 months ago and my life changed dramatically. I’ve been feeling lonely because no one understands what I have.

Hello you amazing people I have recently had a screening for autoimmune disease and thyroid which came back clear. However I’ve read that my symptoms still could be MS. I’m interested in people in the UK’s diagnosis stories and their early symptoms! I’ve had memory issues and cognition problems wh...

Hey, I was just diagnosed with optic neuritis and also seem to have signs of previous inflammation in my brain — I don’t have an official MS diagnosis at this point but they think it’s one of the autoimmune diseases or something in the “MS family” of diseases— not sure what that means. I received a ...
