First Post :) MS, family & friends

I was diagnosed over the summer of this year and I let the people closest to me know a few weeks later. My family have been a great support practically and my friends treat me the same way as always. But I’m struggling that no one is asking how I am or how I’m getting on with my MS since my diagnos...

First Post

Good evening, Has anyone experienced pressure in their tongue and slight discomfort in their jaw? It's like I can't 'relax' my tongue? It's so hard to explain. This just started getting worst and I'm getting massive headaches now due to it. Thoughts? Thanks a lot, Amanda
