Hi everyone, I’m new here so I’ll just tell you a bit about myself. I was struck down with secondary progressive ms in 2016 with no warning a numb big toe on Sunday and paralysis to my left side by the Thursday! Do any of you guys have a sibling or family member who has ms ? I’ve been told it isn’t hereditary, but my sister had it before me and very sadly she passed away in February 2021, to advanced ms and Covid pneumonitis 😢

Poll 📊 Did your HCP mention progression at diagnosis?

Last month we reached out with an opinion check and asked you if healthcare professionals should discuss progression at diagnosis. While 17% of you said you’d prefer to be told later on, around 75% said yes, you would prefer to be told about progression at diagnosis. In the second of our progressi...

Ocrevus & progression

For those of you well established on Ocrevus, has it exasperated your symptoms in any way or present anything new? I recently had an infusion following a 7 month delay and am now experiencing bladder incontinence (new), leg tremors (not new, but much worse), a funky eye brow tremor and a general ...

Has anyone had issues with thier neurologist and thier diagnosis type? I ask mine, everytime I see him, which type do I have, and he will not answer that. I think it because there doesn't appear to be a set course of progression and it can change. But I feel that he should be able to determine a type.

My ms is no longer active and the lesions are now described as ‘black holes’ where there is damage to axons. Bottom line is, there is no treatment now. Siponimod was a consideration at one point but it...
