I’ve been experiencing new symptoms from that which I had in 2014 when I had 2 mri’s that showed lesions but I didn’t have a 3rd scan which showed active lesions so I was told back then they couldn’t officially diagnose ms as they needed all 3 scans to show active lesions. Now 2018 and my balance is...

Hi everyone. Just needed to vent my worries. I am due an infusion next month, and I was seeing the MS nurse on the 1st March. I guess my appointments will be cancelled due to nurses strikes. This is making me feel worried that I am not going to get my infusion on time. I am worried that waiting migh...

Here is a positive note on anxiety. There is a genetic component to anxiety, with heritability ranging from 30 – 50%.

Hello I had an appointment with my Neurologist today and he mentioned MS burn out to me which I've never heard of. Has anyone else heard of this ? He basically said because of my age he didn't expect there to be any new activity or progression and would keep me under review with my next appointm...

I shouldn’t be nervous but I am. I have a neuro appointment in two hours. I was CIS for years. My last MRI before this new one was five years ago (this showed numerous lesions) I had had mild symptoms for nearly 9 years off and on. But starting late this summer I started getting worse. Dizziness, le...

Hi folx, I was diagnosed in with RRMS in October 2020 - still recovering but essentially I woke up partially blind, altered/numbed sensation in left side of my body and struggled to walk due to balance issues.

Not sure what to do. I have reasonable accommodation through work. They only gave me three months. Which is now up! Wasn’t able to get a doctors appointment till next week.

But, having a nerve conduction test on Thursd...

Hi everyone! I was diagnosed a week ago yesterday with RRMS. I’m 29, been married a month and have a 19 month old son. Not the best way to start married life- but I know in life things don’t always go to plan! I guess my question is what happens next? I was sent out the neurologists office with t...

Hi all - I've been a reader of this great site but never posted until finally now....I would ❤️ to pick your wise minds.
