Zero Tolerance

After almost a year of improvements, many of my symptoms started getting worse recently. Balance, numbness, fatigue, sleep quality, twitching and my bad reactions to stressors...all joining forces to drive me nucking futs. It's been bad enough not having glasses for almost two months since my face...

Blood tests

I got my 3 monthly blood test taken yesterday at the hospital to make sure my blood count & kidneys etc are all ok, whilst taken dimethyl fumerate. Does anyone know how long it normally takes to get the results back?

Medication 💊 tips anyone?

I started with Tecfidera, then began I fusions with Ocrevus. Anyone else having success with theirs? I trust my Doc...

Intro

Hi. Hope you are well, not sure how this works but heard about it online and thought to try it out. I got diagnosed with MS back around 2022. Was a huge shock, I was initially seeing doctors about having back and leg pains. I had a couple of MRI's, eventually saw a neurosurgeon who first suggested p...

Rant time

Where do I start. I work 3 days a week. 7am to 3pm. I stand all day packing veg in a packhouse. I'm the only one with a 'health condition'. We have stools to sit on because I asked for one as my legs are in constant pain. If it's not my legs, it's my hips. The pain is that bad that sometimes i could...

Quick question

Tomorrow will be my first day taking Dimethyl Fumerate! Previous or current users, how long do the side effects kick in? I start work early in the morning so, I want to be prepared! 😣
