Depression Days

Does anyone else get random days of depression? I’ve had them before I got diagnosed and they’re a little more prevalent now after my relapse in April. Mine I just feel in a slump and can’t get out of it. They usually just hit me with no specific trigger behind them. It lasts one maybe two days an...

Just signed up here. I was diagnosed last fall and started on Tysabri in Dec. So far it’s been really good. My symptoms have gotten better (which no one promised me). Lately, some things have gotten worse. Life has been stressful recently and I know that can cause relapses. I’m curious how everyone managed their stress level.

Time to lawyer up?

After a 35-year remission, my MS relapsed in early April. I scheduled an appointment with a neurologist, but the earliest available was weeks away. In the meantime, I reached out to my PCP, who immediately set me up for a three-day Solu-Medrol infusion. I told him that’s what had worked best for me ...

A "fait accompli"..my new reality?

Heya, Don't know if i have a question, statement or observation. Or all of the above. During these last 2 years, things really took a turn for the worse, ms wise. And subsequently, psychologically as well. No major relapses, but clearly a steady decline. And new meds, which cause side-effects that a...

DOES THIS POEM CONNECT WITH HOW YOU FEEL?

I always try to look for the positives when it comes to MS, but occasionally I slip into a dark place, like when I wrote this poem that was originally published on the MS Society website. I was worried about my steady deterioration and thought I may be progressing from RRMS to Secondary (my neuro di...

🤬 MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

The numbness in my arm, fingers, legs and foot. The sleepless nights. The uncomfortableness. The uncertainty of wondering if I’m okay or if I’m having a MS relapse. These are my constant reminders that MS is still active and i have to pay extra close attention to what my body is telling me. Power to...

Critical illness

Been off the radar for a bit feeling absolutely rubbish, 3 weeks since lumbar puncture and the results are delayed. Feel like I’m having a relapse but impossible to talk to anybody, it’s not that bad though so I can wait a bit. Wondering if anybody has had a payout from critical illness? My insuranc...

28 Days Later, 28 Years Later: The MS Edition

They didn’t catch a virus. They caught MS. It started with a tingle. Then came the mysterious fatigue no one took seriously. By 28 days in, society hadn’t collapsed but a concerning number of people were falling over for no reason, losing feeling in random limbs, and quietly Googling “why does my e...
