Then had my third jab in November so there would be enough time before my Ocrevus, which was beginning of January. All jabs were Pfizer. I am way more sick this time than last, I thought Omikron was supposed to ...

MS before Covid - mask or no mask?

Hi there! I'd like to ask those MSers, diagnosed before Covid, how did you manage fears of viral infections? My partner is even more worried than I am about going to places without a mask. How did you cope before when you had sneezing people around you? What about, post-covid? How are you handling i...

The second neurologist told me that in her opinion the COVID infection I had last year in january would have triggered the MS, knowing that in 2012 I had Lyme disease, when I went blind and was initially though...

MS and post Covid Brain Fog

I have RRMS and recently had Covid. Is there anyone out there (who may deal with MS brain fog as a regular occurrence) suffering the additional brain fog following Covid? I’m finding it very difficult to navigate and have been feeling terribly frustrated. Thanks in advance. Wishing you all well!
