MS & PCOS, weight loss & fertility

I’ve been recently diagnosed with RRMS. I am overweight and really would like to lose some before having ACL surgery (no date yet) but I’m really struggling.

Just when I thought my mental health couldn't get worse

Anyone else feeling lost

It took years to get the doctors to take me seriously, they all called me either crazy, lazy or fat and blamed all my symptoms on my size and past mental health history. I kept fighting in hop...

Laser hair removal

I've been plucking hairs out of my chin for years due to PCOS but as I get older and my eyes aren't so good I'm thinking about getting them removed with laser treatment. Does anyone know any reason why my MS might be an issue with this? I'm on Tysabri.
