New to MS

Hello! I am 16 and just got diagnosed this past March. I'd been unkowingly showing symptoms of MS since late 2023/early 2024. I've been fighting and I've been in and out of the hospital for plasmapherisis and other tests/treatments. Last time I was discharged, which was April 4th, I was told that I...

What to do?? Hi, my name is Rose. I’m new to this app. I was diagnosed with Ms back in 2016. Since than I’ve tried two dmts. Gilenya and mavenclad since than. Gilenya gave me horrible rashes for four years before my neuro switched me to mavenclad. That medication was the absolute worst. I lost about half of my hair and had frequent heart palpitations to where I needed a heart monitor twice. I only did the first year round 1 and never followed up for my second because of fear. I am meeting with my neuro within the next month about starting a new medication. What is some options that he could give me? And what is your personal experience with those DMTS?

Has anyone’s doctors tried to find the cause of their MS? I think it’s bazaar that nobody cares what caused this in me, in the first place. No family history.

Hi all. I’m new to this app. I’m 26 years old and have been diagnosed since the age of 18. My MS nurse has said I have one of the most aggressive cases she’s ever seen, which doesn’t bother me personally, I live life as “it is what it is” what I’m wondering is does anyone have plans for future life when it gets worse? For me my plan is when I feel I can’t live a good quality of life I will happily just end my life. I hope it doesn’t get to that point but I am prepared for it. What’s everyone else’s plans? .
