Immunosuppressants

Hi all! Can anyone share how life is after having the immune system prevented from working as effective as it should be? Do you get lots of colds or infections? I’m thinking to start either Ocrevus or kesimpta (there are pretty much the same really). I work as a primary school teacher and I’m a bit ...

I'm losing my mind

A fellow shifter inspired me to my newest MS painting, "Iris". "Iris" visualises how I felt after I was first told I have MS. She visualises how surreal this experience is, how I felt like I was losing my mind... how I was completely falling apart - this is my most abstract painting to date and I'm...

Fasciculation is fascinating

Do you experience it? I have experienced this for quite some time but did not know what it was. Google it. If you do experience it, have you found any tricks to prevent it?

Financial help if you can’t work anymore

Hi MS’ers, I hope you’re all coping well with all the ‘bob’ that this condition brings, but I’m wondering if anyone can advise me about what help is available for people that can’t work anymore.

Is MS Neurodiverse?

I recently had a question in a job application whether I identify as neurodiverse. I was wondering how people see themselves and whether multiple sclerosis is considered neurodiverse? Thanks!

I feel selfish

Medical costs will be over $80000 a year for me to live with MS. I feel it might be selfish for me to keep living, as I only make half that a year, and I earn too much to qualify for any financial help anywhere. Any insight or suggestions?
