Poll 📊 Did your HCP mention progression at diagnosis?

Last month we reached out with an opinion check and asked you if healthcare professionals should discuss progression at diagnosis. While 17% of you said you’d prefer to be told later on, around 75% said yes, you would prefer to be told about progression at diagnosis. In the second of our progressi...

I had a spinal tap yesterday and besides feeling like I was beat with a sledgehammer on my back my head has never hurt this bad in my life. Did anyone else experience this? My dr did just to confirm her diagnosis.

Diagnosis....

Hi, I'm new here and just wondering how long did it take everyone to get a diagnosis? I'm currently having investigations to see if I have it or if it's something else. I fell down some stairs a few months ago-no idea why, I didn't have dizziness at that specific time and I didn't trip or slip........

Diagnosis

Hi I have had a recent mri identifying inflammation on both spinal cord and brain. I’m seeing neurologist on Friday. Did anyone get a diagnosis with the same mri result? My symptoms are weak left leg, tingling in right hand and poor balance. I also tend to be very sensitive to alcohol.
