New here, but not too MS

Hello all, I have a tingling feeling in my feet. I have tried various creams, compression socks and Vitamins in hopes to reduce the symptoms. Does anybody else get pins and needles feeling in their feet or other parts of their body, and have found ways to cope?

Kesimpta - to take or not to take?

Hello all, I was diagnosed in 2015 after a few years of symptoms. I had been on Copaxone 3 per week for some time, took a period of time drug free and was then restarted on Copaxone. I have been spoken to about switching to Kesimpta or Aubagio due to relapses in recent years. I was to avoid any m...

Not trusting my body

Hi lovelies, I feel like everyone here has probably felt at some point that their body has betrayed them on this MS journey. It’s really starting to mess with my head, I’m very fortunate when it comes to treatment and disability level but recently I don’t know what it is. Everyday I go to sleep and ...

UTI but not UTI

From time to time I am having this pain and symptoms like UTI, but it only last several hours. Hot bottle and paracetamol only help a little bit. Would anyone recommend how to deal with this pain? I suspect if I go to GP they will tell me is MS related, nothing can be done 😒

DMT or Not. If so, which one? 🤷‍♀️

I’m at the point where I’m being offered DMTs. When I ask the nurse “what would happen if I don’t take them”. She’s says no one can answer that because everyone is different. I’m thinking there surely must be some data, which shows the risk of decline without them? Or else how would they know that t...

I'd love to not have to work, but what about if you can't work...

What's the difference between never having to work again versus never being able to work again? During out #makeworkworkcampaign in London we asked members of the public What would you do today if you couldn't work tomorrow?

My doctors think im crazy of course but at this point I'm good with my decision. Just curious if there are others who have opted o...
