Looking for
something specific?

In the past week, I've had the MS add spasms and neuropathy to a sciatica I'd been wrangling in the past month. I used to be not sporty by any measure, but active. Keen in walking, 12k+ a day. Now I walk with a stick. It is difficult to come to terms with, but I am blessed with a great clinical tea...

I thought I knew #ChronicPain ( and I don't mean being unable to score some sticky Icky) Then, during a month long attack of #sciatica (not my first) I developed a fucked ankle (not a medical term) - presumably #MS #spasticity in the peroneal muscle (shin/calf - not per_I_neal!). Can't walk (got t...

Hiya Shifies, I've been having sciatica for the past month or so - nothing new, had had it before and after Dx. But then my ankle started going weird on the same leg. Foot will naturally fall pointing out, and tilting out. It doesn't feel like a "weakness", more like an excess of strength - rang...

Hi all, Hope you’re all ok. Question.. my MS nurse has asked me to have the puemonococal vaccine before I have my infusion, however has mentioned it’s only advisory and not something mandatory to prevent me having the infusion. Just wondered if some of you have had this, and is it better to do...

Hi, I've been reading all the posts on here for a little while before I plucked up the courage to post. I've had really bad headaches for many years but I was constantly being told it was just stress/anxiety even though I felt there was more to it several doctors said the same I even took myself to ...

Hello. I’m new here but not new to MS. I’m one of those who also has a bunch of other diagnoses, of the sort which often along with MS. Most of them predated it. Bipolar disorder, narcolepsy, fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis. My mobility is not noticeably affected, although I know what’ll happ...

I somehow injured my back over a week ago and not only it is sending my sciatica through the roof, it is also sending my other ms symptoms crazy as well. Pretty much feeling fed up at the moment

Hi all just joined and looking for advice. Five years ago I had a lesion in my spine that gave me paralysis on my right side for months. Around the same time I had a few very small brain lesions that didn’t seem to effect me. I was put on Copaxone. Every year they scan my brain but not my spine as ...
