I was diagnosed 5years ago with Ppms The other night I woke with severe pains in my diaphragm. I wasen’t sure what it was and thought maybe heart attack. Then I read about the ms hug. Anyone experience this?
I got meylena this month never had treatment before. So I feel very excited. My MRI doesn't show any new lessons in the brain but ons straight one at my spine. Why only there?
So today I was told that I likely have Primary Progressive MS. Immediately I started doing research and I am just so bummed. I was really hoping this thing wouldn’t take too much from me but that doesn’t seem to be likely now.
New here, I was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago but when I think back I’m pretty sure I’ve had MS for at least 20 years. Last time I saw my neurologist she said I was at primary progressive and has kept me off of meds. I feel physically that I have progressed since I’ve last seen here…I go and see her nex...
I struggle every moment of every day and my case is so advanced that I’m close to needing a wheelchair. I was an athlete and a genius iQ of 140! Now I can’t remember the name of my best friend if I don’t sit and think for a second. I cannot jump hurdles anymore. I was an all state won first place i...
I recently got diagnosed with primary progressive MS. I know that any type is bad but when ever i talk to anyone about it they say "it's not that bad", "i have a friend with it"..... and it always turns out they have the remitting one. Does any one with the progressive kind, feel trapped? and doomed
When I was diagnosed with MS in June of 2020, I could only walk for a few minutes at a time. I had steroids then which drastically improved my walking, but now I'm back where I started. I can just walk for a few minutes, and even that's a struggle. Does anyone have tips on improving walking? I'm ter...
Hello all,
Well I don't know where to begin!? Guess I should start here. Joined this site nearly 4 years ago just after I was diagnosed. I have had this thing approximately 20 years. Not on any medication, not that there seems to be much, the same as help with this - not much.
I suppose when I w...
Has anyone gotten the HSCT procedure that has primary progressive MS? I spoke with one of Selma Blair's friends who had it done and she suggested a Mexico clinic for PP MS. I heard Mexico and didn't think that sounded safe, but I'm just beginning to learn about HSCT and it's benefits. The whole p...
Hi, I am new to shift ms and am wondering is there anyone who is on or knows anything about Rituximab? There are hardly any treatments for PPMS and my neurologist briefly mentioned this, but only in a letter after my consultation.
I can only walk very short distances with a stick before my legs sta...
I was diagnosed the other with primary progressive MS. I am 32 year old female and was wondering is having children an option anymore? It was one of my first questions as I really wanted children.
Last year, when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my world ended. I have heard stories of how autoimmune disorders ruin lives, so I believed that's what would happen to me. Over the past year, I've read more literature, and read some success stories. One story that I've read was a book wr...
Hey everyone..... I just wanted to update you on this ever evolving story. (To save me typing it all out again have a wee read of my 14th December post).
Adult Disability Payment have now awarded me enhanced care on both daily living and mobility. It has been a 6 month process but it was so worth...
So sorry this is going to be a long post but just wanted to offload on what has happened since Tuesday/Wednesday of this week.
I know everyone’s experiences and symptoms are different but I wondered if anyone has experienced what’s happening at the moment.
On Tuesday I got the results of my neck...

If u read my last post you will see that PIP decided I don't need my car any more even though I walk with a stick, ankle braces and ankle straps.
I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis in February this year. I wrote to PIP to disclose my Change of Ci...
