Switching back to Ocrevus..?

I switched from six monthly Ocrevus infusions to at home monthly Kesimpta injections when Covid struck, so I didn’t have to spend half a day in the petri dish of the local hospital, getting infused. Now the NHS are about to release a 15 minute under skin injection. I understand Kesimpta is suppo...

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 ...

Family ms

Hi everyone I’ve had spms since 2016, just recently it’s getting worse. My sister Gill had it as well but got Covid in 2021, and was gone within 3 days. Does anyone else have ms in their family ?

Covid boosters

Hi! This is only for people on Kesimpta! I’m wondering how you guys are doing Covid boosters? My doc says to wait until it’s time for my Kesimpta shot, get the booster, then wait two weeks to take Kesimpta. I know Covid is spiking again so I really want to get my shot asap. I’m wondering if you ...

Covid Hell!

Pretty positive I have Covid (all family have dropped one by one). I am in the U.K. It is an all-rounder - muscles, throat, ear, sledgehammer headache, gastric issues aplenty. We all have identical symptoms. I’m on Day 5. Has anybody been unfortunate enough to pick this up and when did you recover?...

A relapse query

Hello! I’m sophs, I am 19 years old! And have been suffering with RRMS since I was 14. I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago after I went blind in my left eye. In 2020 I was screwed over by Covid, i suffered my first relapse, I was 14 during this time. I selfishly went paralysed in my right hand. Whe...

Hi everyone, I’m new here so I’ll just tell you a bit about myself. I was struck down with secondary progressive ms in 2016 with no warning a numb big toe on Sunday and paralysis to my left side by the Thursday! Do any of you guys have a sibling or family member who has ms ? I’ve been told it isn’t hereditary, but my sister had it before me and very sadly she passed away in February 2021, to advanced ms and Covid pneumonitis 😢

A little about my story

I'm finally typing this out. I apologize for the length. I just signed up for this Ap, and want to vent about life a little bit. I got diagnosed with RRMS in 2022. Although like I'm sure most of you, I was struggling with mysterious symptoms for years leading up to it. My left hand went numb, li...
