Not again...

Seriously Nuralgia- this is a joke. MASSIVE flare up this morning. I started crying on phone to the doctor. You know the way when everything just comes out? I had had enough of this bloody pain 😢. I had no idea who she was but she was lovely. Whole body buzzing after that - probably adrenaline. I ...

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?

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.

Hi everybody...I have a doubt...are you feeling that your symptoms get back one week before your next shot of medicine???I was with my doctor last week and explained that he said that is not possible because my body is already full of medicine, what I feel is psychological!! Anyone feeling like that?

Anyone not have MS that bad?

I know no one with MS aside from myself, so I don’t know what’s normal or not. I have MS and some parts of it suck but I never really think about it and it doesn’t stop me from doing anything, or at least because I never think about it I never associate anything with my MS. Is this just me? I was ...

Diagnosis not through MRI?

I now have three doctors (including my MS neurologist’s opinion) that I may have MS. My brain and cervical spine MRI appear normal but my symptoms and physical assessments show MS symptoms and all doctors say CNS difficulties. Experienced some mild symptoms for years but in July my right arm went se...

So, I am a scuba diver and probably have over 100 dives under my belt but I haven’t been since my diagnosis. My hubbie and I would like to go again in probably december. Anybody know if MS is something that has to be disclosed? Can they not allow you to dive? I’m good under water, the only thing I’ve found I need help with is getting out, just taking off my fins and bcd/tank and I’m good. Any experience or advice out there? I can’t snowboard any more, don’t want to lose this too!
