Spent most of Saturday afternoon/evening in the ER I thought it was just Ms hug but I couldn't have more wrong, had a CT scan and they found blood clots in both lungs didn't have to stay but I'm back on blood thinners doc says the causeay be sitting around to much unfortunately I don't have much choice I'm home by myself most of the time so it isn't like I can go wandering around plus I'm stuck in a wheelchair most of the time, I can use a walker but I feel safer in my chair kind of a double edged sword

Hey everyone, I’m Bigg Kenn. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a couple weeks ago after going to the doctor for vision loss in my right eye caused by optic neuritis. It’s been a scary and emotional adjustment, and after about 2 weeks my vision has only slightly improved. I’m still learning about MS and what this journey looks like for me, so I joined this app looking for support, advice, and connection with people who understand what this feels like. 🙏🏾

Did ms cause you to change your occupation?

MS sometimes causes people to sweat in their sleep. If anyone has or hasn't experienced this what can be done to stop night sweat episodes?

Ai says: Multiple sclerosis (MS) can cause patients to experience night sweats primarily through damage to the autonomic nervous system, which governs involuntary body functions like temperature regulation. When these nerves are damaged, the body's internal "thermostat"—specifically the hypothalamus...

What causes MS?

I was once told its genetics and inherited, however nobody in my family has MS. No parent, grandparents or great grandparents. I asked a DR even the DR claims the cause is unknown, until I came across an American DR that shows its caused by paracites/worms in the brain and spine. It's hard not knowi...
