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?...

Living with Endemic Covid on Ocrevus/Rituxan

Hi guys! I’m wondering where everyone’s thoughts are on continuing with your anti-CD20 meds given the world just kind of pretending like Covid no longer exists at this point. Do you plan to continue and just roll the dice with Covid? Switch to another medication? Lock yourself inside your house for ...

To my #EndMS family

To my American #EndMS #HelpFindACure family, yes I'm from Canada but unlike @Bernie sanders will have you believe that the healthcare system in Canada is really good. I barely eat anything literally one meal every 2-3 days a week. There are medications that I can't afford. My MS is almost at the sta...

Hi everyone. I have had MS for 4.5 years, received first round of Lemtrada in May 2016. I have gotten much, much worse since Lemtrada. Coincidence? I stopped Aubagio to go on Lemtrada. Does anyone think that maybe I have gotten worse because of stopping Aubagio? I can barely walk and my balance...

Endurance vs. Strength Training activiti

Hi all, While I'm trying to stay active by exercise/yoga, I do fine strength training (both upper and lower body workouts). But do poorly in cardio/endurance activities which I really need. Walking for more than 25-30 minutes is a challenge. Toward the end, I find it difficult to catch myself with...
