Vascular insufficiency

So since I had COVID almost a year to the day and had the fun delta variant I've noticed my legs retaining water. I tried more potassium, lower my salt intake, drink more water, water pills both over the counter and prescribed, compression socks but all to no avail. So my neurologist after trying al...

Brabio or Tecfidera🤔🙃

I was diagnosed RRMS in Dec 2020, the neurologist believes I've had it for 11 years. I've had 2 relapses in 2 years and currently have 1 active lesion (great way to end the year!) I have narrowed my choice of DMT down to Brabio 3xweek or Tecfidera, I like that Tecfidera is more effective and a pill ...

Poll: What was your main consideration when choosing an MS treatment?

Hey peeps 👋 Billy from Shift.ms here. I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions as we've had lots of new members join us recently. I feel like I got quite lucky with picking my MS treatment.

Newly Diagnosed

Hi just been diagnosed and not sure what to think/do. Neurologist has recommended three different drug therapies. Tecfidera Plegridy Copaxone. His preference is for Tecfidera, but as you know nothing comes for free and the side effects with that seem worse than the other two, and neither of them ...

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...
