I'm not sure how 6 years went by

It's been a long time since I posted here but I got a notification about getting fitter and since that's exactly what I'm doing right now I logged in for a read. After Lemtrada in 2015/16 I've been on Ocrevus for 5 years now, diagnosed for over a decade, I'm also 10 years no new activity on my MRI's...

Hello everybody, I am Jimmy. I just found this group and a little bit about me. Both biological parents were diagnosed with MS mom in her 20s. My dad and his 40s I have learned to watch for signs and symptoms, but I put them off thinking it can’t be happening to me it skips a generation And then I found out my dad‘s little sister was diagnosed and a cousin that is only two years older than me was diagnosed and I decided my wife being a nurse I might as well not put it off anymore because my body was getting worse. I have lost Feeling in both my feet. My limbs go numb for no reason I cannot stand or sit for long periods of time my bladder does not function the way it should. My balance isn’t the greatest anymore. I am pretty much going through all the same problems. My parents went through And I know I should listen to the neurologist and do everything but it just feels like he already knows he just wants to make sure that it isn’t a disease that mimics MS I know I just have to be patient and do everything but my body is in so much pain sometimes and I can’t sleep But then when I am able to walk around, we have sand spurs here in Florida. I can walk across my yard and my dog can feel them more than I can when they get stuck to the bottom of our feet and when I tell doctors and neurologist that both of my parents Suffered MS, their eyes light up like I’m assigning it to experiment and tell me that it is rare to hear that the neurologist I have studies MS and he says this was the first time he has ever heard of both biological parents having MS. He even showed me studies And it’s either a grandma or a grandpa Paw or a mom or a dad and then I was told I have a 12 to 15% more likely chance of having MS at first I was frustrated and then I was just depressed and then I realized if my parents could deal with it for so long and keep their positive attitude even though their bodies were breaking down And rejecting the things they wanted to do. I have decided that I will listen to the doctors but with everything else going on with me some of the medicines for it I can’t even take because of heart condition conditions or colitis. I appreciate being accepted to the group and I just wish there was something like this for my parents back in the 80s and 90s

Recent diagnosis

Good morning, I’m Jeff and MS is still rather new to me. I struggle daily with my balance and heavy legs but I’m getting better at managing my day to day. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. Thanks for listening.

Time to lawyer up?

After a 35-year remission, my MS relapsed in early April. I scheduled an appointment with a neurologist, but the earliest available was weeks away. In the meantime, I reached out to my PCP, who immediately set me up for a three-day Solu-Medrol infusion. I told him that’s what had worked best for me ...

Balance issues

My balance is laughable at times – think Borat in an antiques shop, if you’ve seen that film. Falling over as I lowered myself onto the toilet and reverse headbutting the painting sitting on the ledge above it, causing it to come crashing down on me as I slumped onto the pot was probably my most ane...
