Hello. So just got diagnosed with MS after a 2 week stay in the hospital at the end of April. And the last 2 weeks on both arms in my elbow area at pretty numb to the touch and my left arm hurts when I try and pick something up. Not sure if it's related or not. Have to set up a appointment with neurology after I get a referral from my PCP which I'm getting on Thursday afternoon!!!

Hi all. I’m new to this app. I’m 26 years old and have been diagnosed since the age of 18. My MS nurse has said I have one of the most aggressive cases she’s ever seen, which doesn’t bother me personally, I live life as “it is what it is” what I’m wondering is does anyone have plans for future life when it gets worse? For me my plan is when I feel I can’t live a good quality of life I will happily just end my life. I hope it doesn’t get to that point but I am prepared for it. What’s everyone else’s plans? .

Hi I have rrms but latley I seem to be having more episides than usual , I am pretty used with tingling down one leg and regular pain in my sides which I believe is somthing called the ms hug which is reall annoying, but latley I have been experiencing servere pain in my lower jaw and teeth which happen when I touch a certain part of my bottom lip, even licking my lip can set it of, a few days ago it got scary when I was unable to talk due to the pain when simply trying to speak, I am currently on copaxone, this is the first time I have spoke about my ms on a forum apart from speaking to my long suffering partner ( who has to endure my whinging ) I just would like to know if anyone else has this sort of pain and any advice on how to deal with it . Thanks David

Hi, my name is Grace I am 19yrs old, Born and Raised in Philly. I never really knew much about MS though I do have 2 family members who have it. I have been experiencing numbness, tingling, sciatica, fatigue, double vision, itching and tingling sensation in my skin, tremors, weakness in my arms and legs, balance issues, etc… I went to see my Primary and she said it could be MS, though I do have some other things going on. She ordered a MRI for me but they didn’t really find anything. I went to see a Neurologist and he looked over my scans and suggested I get a another MRI just to be sure and this time lthey are looking at the whole spine. I sometimes I feel like I may not be taken seriously because of my age. But hopefully I can figure out what’s going on with me because this whole process has been tiring and frustrating. But the MRI is at the end of the month so I guess we’ll see.

Just Started Copaxone - When Will The Stinging End?

I had my first injection of Copaxone on Friday morning and I was unprepared for the stinging that followed which lasted over an hour. I had my second one today and again the stinging was unbearable. Has anyone been on Copaxone injections? Did you have this experience? If so, how did you combat it?...

Has anyone had similar symptoms to MS but ended up being diagnosed with something else? If so what were you diagnosed with?

I recently had 4 MRIs due to being under suspicion of having MS but they all came clean. I'm glad it's not MS but I'm frustrated because it means I'm at square one again. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hey everyone, so I was diagnosed 3 months ago. Saw my neurologist one month ago and they couldn't really tell me which type of MS I have, since the symptoms come and go they said remitting. So I was scheduled for my first infusion today but I didn't go. The last time I let them give me meds I ended up having Stephen Johnson syndrome

I know that MS is different for each indhividual but just want those just diagnosed to know I went almost 25 years trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Don’t go off the deep end worrying about what if? Work with your Doctor to find a treatment that is best for YOU. Remember you are your own best advocate! Im 68 now and still fight it every day
