Symptoms and feeling anxious

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...

Surviving and absolutely not thriving

I'm due to see my neurologist for the first time since I was diagnosed ten months ago and I'm feeling anxious about it. My neurologist told me that I wasn't being offered any treatment at this stage because and I quote "You are far from my worst off patients" which as reassuring as he might have int...

Anxious

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...

Dealt a Rotten Hand in the Card Game of Life

Here is a positive note on anxiety. There is a genetic component to anxiety, with heritability ranging from 30 – 50%. This means that if you suffer from anxiety and one of your parents suffers from anxiety, you were dealt a rotten hand in the card game of life. To make matters harsher for you, there...

Starting DMD nerves...................

Hi everyone, well I've done it I made the decision to start Tecfidera after lots of questions and worries fired at my MS Nurse this seemed the most effective option to me at present and with regular monitoring risks seemed a bit more manageable to process. But now I've been contacted to advise my f...

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...
