It's not the same...

I had a really bad day yesterday with fatigue and brain fog. Everything was a battle, but I still had to go to work and just get through it somehow. I got home, my husband asked how my day was and I told him how I had really struggled. He said "oh I get that too sometimes". Like...no. I love my ...

Anyone get diagnosed years after being told it’s not MS?

To begin, I had a craniotomy in 2014 to remove a benign brain tumor from the left frontal lobe that was causing vision loss, the worst migraines I’ve ever had, and many other issues. Since 2020, I’ve noticed random nerve pain in other places on my body outside of my head. Random hot spots that feel ...

Not sure

Hello all. New to the site. Just thought I'd tell you alittle bit about myself. You have all, I'm sure, had similar stories. 2 years ago I started having extreme heart palpitations to the point that I thought I was having a heart attack and crazy fatigue. My pulse went down to 36 bpm and oxygen 87. ...

MS before Covid - mask or no mask?

Hi there! I'd like to ask those MSers, diagnosed before Covid, how did you manage fears of viral infections? My partner is even more worried than I am about going to places without a mask. How did you cope before when you had sneezing people around you? What about, post-covid? How are you handling i...

Hello! I just wanted to get some opinions about what should be the due process after an MRI in the NHS. Obviously this changes from trust to trust. I have moved hospital and my specialist has written to me to say that there was no report made after my last scan at another hospital. At this hospit...

New lesions but no symptoms

I was diagnosed in December 2022 after optic neuritis for the third time in 17 years (July 2005, December 2021 and April 2022). I have never had any other symptoms other than things that could be very easily be due to getting older. Since my MRI in July 2022 until my MRI in December 2022, I have thr...

Return to work not going well

Second week of return to work now, and barely been able to do anything, yet the pressure is on now to build up. This morning’s effort of staring at a computer screen and attending a Teams meeting has caused an almighty exacerbation. Worrying not going to get easier. Anyone else going through this...
