Right to record medical appointments?

I was wondering if anybody knows of any organizations that are campaigning for the right to record our medical appointments? It's a small thing, but I think it might make a huge difference. I know I'm not the only one who wants to be able to record appointments so that I can better remember what h...

One last attempt at Tecfidera

Hi all :) I started Tecfidera about five weeks ago. The flushing is uncomfortable, but I tolerate it for the greater good. However, in week three I developed severe abdominal pain - like a hot ball trying to get under my ribcage. This continued in waves for a few days, so I stopped taking the meds...

Medical terms

MS has taken so much from me it has me wondering where I am. My Drs. gave my symptoms names such as dysphasia, diplopia, dysarthria and ataxia. I am in no way medical so these terms don’t mean much to me so Google was called upon. Not Dr Google,as that can be dangerous. I now know that dysphasia is...

So, I see a lot of questions on this board about choosing a DMT or switching. Given that there are over 20 different options right now, it can feel a lot like cramming for the final in Your Future Is at Stake 101. The good news? The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America just launched The MSAA Tr...

Ocrevus

Hello. Four years ago I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I'm taking Ocrevus, Fampyra. The doctor does not want to change my treatment because he says that the drugs help me because there are no changes in the MRI of the head and spine. Unfortunately, I have more and more problems with my legs...
