I like to wear shorts during the summer I know that’s bad while having MS but is there anything I can put on my leg and arm to not get a flare up if possible ?

I was diagnosed 32 years ago with ms. Didn’t flair up until about 2 years ago. Is numbness normal in the hands?

I recently received very positive news from my neurologist regarding my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Based on my progress and stability, he has determined that I no longer need to continue medication at this time and is moving my status from Level 2 to Level 1. This is a very encouraging development and reflects the stability of my condition.While I am grateful and optimistic about this progress, I would be lying if I said I don’t occasionally have some “what if” thoughts. That said, I trust the medical guidance I’ve received and understand that this decision was made after careful evaluation of my health and long-term stability. Overall, I am very thankful for the positive direction things are moving!

Has nail glue affected anyone?

I posted that I was basically going through a relapse about a week ago but now I have an infection because of nail glue and acrylic nails. I’ve been having worse symptoms and am now in the hospital. Has this happened to anyone before?

Does anyone else need a scooter in the store while shopping. Sometimes my legs become numb when I walk around in the stores.

New Chapter?

I thought that I would have been able to figure out how I would start a new chapter, but struggling these days in keeping my head up in these difficult moments of our condition. My poetry and writing has all subsided over the past couple of years, even my obsession with Stephen King and the supern...

I have read that ms or optic neuritis could be a one time episode abd never come back but it’s rare? Anyone had optic neuritis or ms and had it once the symptoms and never returned?
