I just wanted to share with the people that will understand the most. I’ve had a lot of anxiety surrounding taking treatment and I have finally started Tecfidera. It was upsetting and overwhelming to finally start. I think a lot of things start to sink in. But overall I really am proud of myself and...

I had my first relapse since diagnosed in February this year, I recovered fine with steroids and even though...

Hi... need if possible some opinions/experiences from real people about Pregabalin and/or Gabapentin....... Am needing pain relief from Fibro, MS nerve pain and spasticity/spasms. Baclofen is just not really helping and GP prescribed codeine but only for short term use, which is fair enough. MS team...

I have hit a bit of a wall with my ms this week. I try to live in the moment, appreciate the small wins etc etc but all the things I can no longer do keep coming to the front of my mind. I’m tired of taking so many medications. I’m tired of the treatment. I know how ungrateful that sounds because...
