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...

Struggling in Limboland :-(

Hi everyone I know many people go through this, but I am really struggling with being in limbo, with my current symptoms and with fears for the future. I had an MRI in November and saw the neurologist in December - a new area of inflammation was found (he called this transverse myelitis). This is ...

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...

Is this MS hug?

Hi, Looking for some advice really. I have had MS for 8 years now and medics believe (after months of decline and no remission) that I have started on the path of secondary progressive.
