something specific?

The one thing I struggle with the most is knowing what is a flare up and what is a real relapse. I started feeling a numbness in my leg over a week ago but I’ve had this before so didn’t think much of it. I then started to get numbness in my left hand up my arm and my shoulder is so sensitive to t...

Hi, I have RRMS- diagnosed October 2023 on Tysabri. I’ve had gastroenteritis but really struggling with the recovery of it and worried I’m not going to feel like I did prior. On anti sickness tablets from today due to nausea feeling. I’m exhausted with it and finding the recovery harder that having ...

Evening All! I’ve developed an old symptom since my first half dose. My MS nurse says they’ve had reports of old symptoms popping up after infusions and not to worry unless it persists. They’re calling it a ‘pseudo’ relapse. Anyone else experienced this? X

Hi all, had a bit of a scary experience on Tuesday. Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t walk, fell over when I got up and couldn’t move my legs.

I had 2 very bad relapses in the space of 4 months in 2016 (the second one happened 3 weeks after starting Gilenya). I had just started to regain more mobility before Christmas and finall...

How do you tell the difference between a flare (new lesions/concerning) or pseudorelapse?

Been diagnosed 3 years and this is still something I struggle with. Recently I’ve had pain and sensitivity to my skin on my neck going to my ear and down my arms in various places. I don’t even want clothes to touch it and I have had skin sensitivity before but not in this place. It seems whenever I...

I've been in hospital for 4 days now following two weeks of gradual escalation of symptoms. I ended up completely losing power in both legs, unable to walk a few meters with an aid, double vision and fatigue. An emergency MRI showed no new activity and it's still clinical stable which I'm really h...
