Hi i am newly diagnosed & have just joined this group.

I am having double vision . Booked in to an experienced optician next week. I have read in various formats that certain specific lenses can help with double vision. I mainly get this at night and when I am tired. Does anyone have any suggestions , I would be very grateful.

New to Zeposia

Just started on Zeposia this week and am blown away by the food restrictions. Anyone here using the med and can share their experience? I started experimenting by eating some of the "maybe" foods and will keep doing so as I go along.

Fingolimod under a new name.

I have been taking fingolimod for three years and it is fine and I am satisfied. I got a letter through the post from the NHS which read that they were changing Fingolimod to a new manufacturer and it is cheaper. Cuts in the NHS I guess. Also, I checked my supply and discovered that I had two too ma...

Steroids - new NICE guidance?

I am currently taking steroid tablets over 5 days at home. Those were prescribed by GP (it wasn't easy to get prescription) for very serious relapse - I wasn't able to walk. What is concerning, that my MS nurse advised me not to take them, only wait and see, maybe it will improve by itself! And that...
