How did you manage financially at first like with car insurance that kind of stuff like were you wiped out like me where you’re not able to work but there’s no real solutions and you’re waiting for answers you’re unsure the future and where do you go for help?

Two and a half years through

Hi, I've not been here for ages because it wasn't good for my mental health. I just really needed a safe space to vent. I'm on the maximum dose of Sertraline at the moment but I don't feel that it's helping enough. I was diagnosed with RRMS in December 2022 and my life has completey changed sin...

Shortness of breath

Hi everyone, On top of being extremely exhausted all of the time, pains, headaches , dizziness , off balanced, etc, I am starting to get shortness of breath if I am doing anything that involves a little bit of exertion. Has anyone else had this with MS? I still haven't been clinically diagnosed yet...

ecently had my MRI results and (as I kinda suspected after a rough few months) had new lesions.I'm currently on Plegridy (moved from Tecfidera as I'm JCV positive and my lymphocytes lowered a lot). Tecfidera worked ok for me, but Plegridy obviously hasn't been as effective. Due to the hard few months I've really isolated myself from people (some I'm unsure even how to reach out to again now) and live alone alone some of the time when my four children are at their mum's. Positive news is, they've mentioned Ocrevus and Kesimpta, which are obviously higher efficacy treatments. Could I ask for any advice people have around these DMTs, please? If you've seen me ask on Facebook or Instagram, then feel free to ignore and not repeat yourself.
