What kinds of things were you diagnosed with before finding MS was the actual diagnosis?

I’ve been an MS suspect for 15 years. It seems no one is listening at all. Ex: bowel/bladder incontenance. Feeling like my scalp is detached from my head and locks of hair dragging across my head. Falling because right leg drags, spinning in head neck spine and waist. Unable to make my right hand do...

“Searching for answers—has anyone had this experience before diagnosis?”

Hi everyone, I’m currently in the diagnostic process, and I’m hoping to connect with others who might relate. I’ve had a long list of symptoms over the years that don’t seem to fit neatly under one umbrella, but MS has come up more than once. Some of my symptoms include: • A spinning, buzzing, or ...

hi i am new here! whats up my fellow MS warriors?

Hi, I’m a 35-year-old man from Cyprus living with MS. What drives me is the feeling of *freedom* — the kind where you choose your own path, even when life tries to box you in. I believe in living life on my own terms, staying true to who I am, and connecting with people who feel the same. I don’t ...

My New MS Superpower (No Cape Required)

So MS has taken a lot from me… balance, energy, the ability to feel my toes most days you know, the usual. But plot twist: it also gave me the unexpected superpower of lasting forever in bed. 🦸‍♂️ It’s a blessing and a curse… mostly because My wife says it's like running a marathon she didn’t sign...

If Today Was World No filter Day, what would you post about MS

Since the mental health bandwagon rolled in, MS awareness has turned into complete and utter bullshit. It’s all the same empowering, resilient, mindset bullshit and actually damages MS awareness. There’s nothing empowering about dragging your leg like dead weight or wondering if you’ll make it to t...

Why I’m Coming Off Ocrevus: My MS Stor

Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) means constantly adapting — to symptoms, to uncertainty, and to treatments that don’t always work the way you hope they will. After starting Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) in June 2024, I’ve now decided to stop — just over a year later. It wasn’t an easy choice, but it fee...

Not everything is MS?

I had a pounding headache for days, it got worse every day. At first I was afraid, I was petrified thinking it was my blood pressure but I checked it several times a day and it was fine. Headache got worse. Then I just said to myself, this is just another MS headache and it too shall pass… but it ...
