Looking for
something specific?

**Thanks for the replies. Looks like everyone does what they are comfortable with. I am not ready to "go back to normal", so I will continue doing what I have been. Take care, all! :) How are you all handling covid-19? Especially those on B cell depleting treatments. I've been shielding at home (...

I have had covid for 2 weeks now and seems there is no end to it, my symptoms are through the roof. Anxiety is oh my god I cant even discribe and my brain fog is uncontrolable. any advice on this will be great help.

Tested positive for Covid. Probably Omicron. Mild cold like symptoms for one day which seem to be going away. On the MS front, am on Ocrevus, having been diagnosed following one clinical relapse last year and optic neuritis, come recovery. Vaccinated x3. Mid 20s. Do I need antivirals if I feel fine...

I was diagnosed with MS last February I’ve been on the twice a year treatment, rituximab, since last October. I’ve had a total of two infusion treatments. I am now thinking about getting the COVID-19 vaccine. I’m weary though because I don’t know how or if it will affect my MS. The infusion treatm...

I have just tested positive with Covid. I'm just wondering what people's experience with Covid and MS was. Did your symptoms of MS get worse? Did you contact your MS nurse to let them know you had it?

Hi guys, looking for a bit of advice. Has anyone on this forum undergone treatment with Sotrovimab? If so, what was your experience like? Your views would be much appreciated. I am a RRMS patient who is being treated with Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus)- tested positive yesterday for COVID-19. I have been fu...

Hi, I would like to share my experience with catching Omicron and what to expect. I’m 34, ex smoker (16 years) with MS using Avonex and vaccinated 3 times. Days leading up to it: My 7 year old came out with it on Saturday, my wife & 12 year old Monday, my 15 year old & then me and my 8 year old. ...

I have been prescribed Gabapentin & Baclofen for night spasms. Recently had a 45days absence dye to depression, is this common?

Now then! Hope you're all doing well! Just a quick one about the dreaded Covid bugg... anyone had it? If so how did you get by and what did you use to help ease your way through it?? Myself am currently locked up in a room with lots of lemsip, oranges, vit D3 and enough music and TV to get by... lu...

Tested positive for C-19 Sept and took to my sick bed for 3 weeks. I actually think I got off lightly with great support from my family and Drs who gave me antibiotics and steroids and TOLD me to rest. Work have been brilliant and just accepted the down time. Know I am still recovering and starting...

Hi there, I'm just curious as to where people with MS stand in relation to the Covid 19 vaccine. The last time I checked we were in the 'high risk' category, but when I looked today it seems MS has been removed. Can anybody in Ireland shed light on this please? Thank you, Stay safe, K

Hey guys, I hope everyone is doing well. Hands up who has had the Covid-19 vaccine yet? 🙌 (Sorry if your arm is sore!) 💚 The Shift.ms forum has been teeming with questions and conversations around MS and getting the vaccine, so we wanted to share the ups and downs that MSers have experienced in ...

Has anyone else had them? Do we have to shield once after the first dose

Done today. So happy

Hello, In 2014 I was given a flu vaccine, this caused me to go partially blind in 1 eye. To correct this my neurologist put me on high-dose steroids for a week and thankfully my eye sight returned. The Flu vaccine is supposed to be 100% safe, but caused a very stressful side effect with me. I am s...

Just 1 problem. It did not happen !

I'm pro-vaccinations but the more I read about the covid-19 vaccine, the more unsure I'm getting that it may cause a flare up even though I've taken the flu jab for years without any side effects. I've come such a long way in my MS battle and I'm stable and in a good place at the moment so I don't...

So at the beginning of March my wife came down with a nasty cough and predictably tested positive for Covid. We both felt slightly unwell but nothing more than just feeling a little bit crappy, a bit like waking up after a night on the beer. I had a slight relapse with my arm (a previous issue area)...

So following my last post both my partner and my daughter, who currently lives elsewhere but works with my partner, have been tested positive for COVID-19. My partner is currently quarantined in a separate bedroom with full blown cough, sweats and temperature fluctuations. I have been self-isolatin...
