Relapse, maybe?

Hi everyone, looking for advice and experiences. On Monday, I did my first workout after not being active for about 4 years. I had normal muscle soreness after, nothing unusual. On Wednesday, I started sweating a lot and had pain in my right eye. I have had optic neuritis in that eye before. I als...

Two and a half years through

Hi, I've not been here for ages because it wasn't good for my mental health. I just really needed a safe space to vent. I'm on the maximum dose of Sertraline at the moment but I don't feel that it's helping enough. I was diagnosed with RRMS in December 2022 and my life has completey changed sin...

Cold/Heat intolerance

I’ve been off the app for a while but I love a good hot vs cold deep dive. I HATE the cold with my entire being…autumn/winter is the absolute worst for me because it makes me feel like a literal slug, every movement is a chore and I nap like a hibernating bear but in the summer months there is a m...

Hello! Got my diagnosis last month for RRMS and I'm deciding on treatment options at the minute. I'm very prone to cold sores and UTI's and I've been suggested Kesimpta or mavenclad. I know they both have increased risk of oral herpes and uti's so confused as to which to go for. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you :)

I know there are extreme cold and heat sensitivity but I was reading about it “Cold water immersion therapy is proven to provide relief from inflammation and pain, naturally support the immune system, and help to reduce stress.

Almost sent home

I almost got sent home from the OCREVUS unit today, because I have a cold. I knew I wouldn’t be able to have it if I had Covid or a chest infection, but didn’t think a cold would be an issue. Luckily after a lot of waiting around, conversations about my cough and sniffles with the staff, and a ...
