Disc Bulge

Hello All, I have PPMS - I think at least five or six years but diagnosed just over two. An MRI around three months ago showed a disc bulge on L4/5 which causes regular pain - especially in night/mornings and weakness on that side (right) and thus mobility and balance issues. I know three non-MS fri...

Hi, I’m Shannon and new to the group. I’m 54 and was diagnosed with PPMS when I was 19. I’m wondering if anyone else feels that Menopause is making your symptoms worse? Thank you!

PPMS

I’m just wondering if anyone with PPMS has anything that they’ve tried. This is a new experience for me so I’m open to suggestions that’ll help.

Looked since 2012 to find out what was wrong. In 2020 I was diagnosed with PPMS. Been fighting since. What puzzled me is as soon as I was diagnosed the progression has been off the wall very quick.
