So over past few weeks I’d say, I’ve had random times of day when I’ve been smelling odd smells. The most common smell is burnt toast.

I feel a tightness in my sternum that radiates to my back between my shoulder blades, and feel like I can’t catch a full breath. Any idea...

MS Hug

Hi friends. Do you experience the MS Hug? If so where on your body? My back/torso, hips and pelvis are hurting and I'm wondering if that's what it is. Thank you :)

I have had enough

Just had a huge argument with my partner. Apparently I make it all about the MS. It's not going anywhere mate so get educated. Tinnitus- everyone has that Tingling and numb hands and feet - everyone has that. Motion sickness - yup, you guessed it, everyone has that. Yeah, sure, individually but w...
