Hi guys, I am new here so am still finding my way!

I am 44 and currently taking Avonex. I was diagnosed at the age of 21 when I was numb from the neck down then a few years later went temporarily blind in both eyes at the same time. Scary stuff! I am currently doing well.

After effects of steroids...normal?!

Hi, I posted a while ago, thank you to those of you who replied (",) I ended a 5 day course of daily 500mg methylprednisolone on 27th August and felt dreadful for a week or so after stopping.

Great Handbag Size Life Saver!

This great for dead leg, heavy leg, tingling numbness weakness or stiffness. Because it's portable and rechargeable with USB. I put it in my handbag and take it everywhere!! You can get them cheaper than this too. There's loads on Amazon, this is just one.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/AERLANG-Percu...
