Immune system

Hi all, Do you think MS or the drugs play with your immune system. I work full time and in a school and always seem to get hit quite bad with colds, coughs, throat problems. Can it be classed as connected to MS? Worried about having time off.

Legalisation

I didn’t think MS could still humiliate me. I feel bad about how I’m effecting those around me and how I am going to be a greater burden on my family. I lost it and tore into my wife. I was in such a haze that I can’t remember what I said. I acutely remember the feeling of being mortified. Of c...
