Hot and Cold

I'm struggling with a coping mechanism at the moment. We are just going into Autumn and already I am freezing; I feel like I am just sitting out in the snow in shorts and t-shirt. I put the heating on or wrap up but then it makes me feel really tired. I know this early on in the year its only going...

How did you find out?

Hi everyone! I have RRMS and I found out that I had MS after going completely numb on my left side. Even then the Doctor was still uncertain and chose to call it Tranverse Myelitis. 5 years later, same symptoms. Only this time, I was sensitive to hot and cold. I had an MRI, Spinal tap, and evoked po...

Vertigo

Hi! I have pretty extreme vertigo. I have done therapy for it and it helped a lot but it comes and goes. I had a test done where they blow hot and cold air into your ears. And my left side had a much weaker response. I am still waiting to get into an ENT to figure that out. Anybody else have experi...

MS hug

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the MS hug? I've had it a few times in the past but last night I had the worst I've ever had. It lasted about 1 hour or so and I was vomitting and had the shakes. I felt hot and cold, and struggled to find a position to breath comfortably. If you've experien...

Since last summer, I became a full time wheelchair user due to a severe relapse leaving my left leg paralysed. Si...
