Anyone get diagnosed years after being told it’s not MS?

To begin, I had a craniotomy in 2014 to remove a benign brain tumor from the left frontal lobe that was causing vision loss, the worst migraines I’ve ever had, and many other issues. Since 2020, I’ve noticed random nerve pain in other places on my body outside of my head. Random hot spots that feel ...

Does it ever get better?

I was diagnosed with ms when I was 17, I am now 26. Does the constant tiredness or aching ever go away? And those of you who have been on techfidera, has it helped tremendously or have you found yourself going for something new? It makes me feel like my skin is on fire. I’m tempted to go back to the...

I can't get away from the thought that I have PPMS

I cannot get away from coming back to thinking I have PPMS, despite the positive news from tests. Since this all came to my attention with dizziness in August and pins and needles in October, i just keep coming back to that. I've seen my doctor, a neurologist, an ophthalmologist and done emgs, brain...

Ocrevus/Rituximab users, how often do you get sick??

Hi friends! Curious how often you all catch colds/flu/covid? I know having small children is a factor, but in general do you feel you catch things at the drop of a hat or just slightly increased more that usual? Just started treatment, and curious. Definitely got into a great habit of hand washing...

Wish I could ignore those who don’t get MS

why do I find it so hard when others feel the need to make comments about me not helping? I would love to be the person who could just forget the comment or even call them out on it 🤷🏻‍♀️ We had a party in the house for my daughters 18th. This was really important to us as a family to celebrate h...

Well I'm getting desperate

I was told that steroids in my muscle tissues would help me build them better of course. I can definitely see how that would be helpful but I'm curious if it's usable at all
