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!

I ended blacking out not once but 4 times last night. I got up and went to the bathroom, got up from the toilet and I woke up on the floor. This happened 4 times. The 4th time I ended up vomiting. This never happened to me before. Any ideas on what happened? I'm calling my Drs office, but has this happened to anyone?
