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?

Yes I use to be a cable installer when I could no longer climb a letter, I turned into a sales person and even opened up my own business doing that. so I had my ups and downs with the disease.

Does Anyone Else Have A Cough That they Can't Find A Root Cause For?

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...

Fatigue causes

Does anyone else feel like mental exertion effects fatigue more than physical? I go to the gym & I’m usually fine but if I sit down & have to do my taxes I’m going to be in bed the rest of the day.

Im a RRMSer, who's recently been diagnosed as a diabetic T1. The symptoms are very much similar fatigue and balance problems. I haven't had a relapse for over 15 years. How do I know what causes my fatigue. Is it my MS or diabetes.
