MRI update

I have no new lesions on my brain. Yay. Sad update: my brain is apparently smaller than average. In the 26th percentile. Idk if it’s MS related or not. But the amount of brain excercise I am doing now is kinda tiring. I don’t really discuss this last part with anyone. I don’t want people to comm...

I'm suppose to start Mavenclad this weekend, what can I expect in terms of side effects, risk for infection and overall performance of this drug. I'm kinda faithfull/hopefully with a little sprinkle of fear of the unknown.

Dizzy or blurry vision and confusion after long day?

Hey y’all, I have been slightly dizzy and eyes kinda blurry past few days towards the end of the work day. I also feel slight confusion when this happens and I’m not sure what is triggering it. Does this happen to anyone else? This generally isn’t a symptom that I have but doesn’t feel like a relaps...

How all y’all peep’s living we all living the dream right one day will wake up yea this ms shit is for the birds changed my whole life I used to be a go getter some days I don’t even wanna move was diagnosed back in 2017 they also said I’ve had it for a few years prior Eason three different meds yeah just sucks anymore man my life is just totally ruined not really ruined but you guys know it’s just a lot of things that we can’t do that. We wanna do. I got a three year-old kid little boy two daughters. I don’t see them. Their mother left me. I was in a freak accident. I got an involuntary manslaughter charge. I worked at a metal shop in. King of Prussia Pennsylvania called Zico and we are playing on the job and the guy got hit him a piece of metal and went right through his head and he died two days later man I kinda messed me up to. I got locked up and I was married. She left me because of the incident she didn’t want me jeopardizing her career so she ended it when I was in jail for the incident. I’ve been in quite a few accidents drinking a drive and you know I mean, I got a metal plate in my face. I got tore my ACLMCL never been sick that day in my life before man it’s crazy now all of a sudden I was in rehab. I stopped doing cocaine back in 2017 when I got diagnosed and one day I went to group and they said I didn’t look right so I had to go get checked out I went and got checked out and they told me it was Lyme disease at first and then they sent me to Christiana Delaware and that’s when I was in there for about three weeks. They finally figured out it was MS they said I’ve had a couple years prior to make diagnosed. It changed my whole life man I don’t even wanna do anything and get up. Just sit here in my ass. It’s wild something like that can change you but the key is just gotta keep fighting man keep pushing it just don’t kill yourself in the process. Can’t wait to talk to you guys. Hope everybody has a good night.
