DMT and aging

Good morning all. I was diagnosed a very long time ago... so long ago that there were no DMTs available. When they did come out my doctor felt that because I was stable I didn't need to take anything. Fast forward several years and I was given Rebif which I stayed on for many years. I switched doct...

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 😢

Vision with ms

I was told I have secondary progressive ms. After hearing my dr. Say I have ms. He tells me to research online about it. As a woman we know when it's not a mental issue. But we get looked over. It frustrates me. I was in the hospital for losing my speech and my whole right side, like a stroke. I reg...

Clarification

Hi, I’m new here it’s great to see how supportive everyone is. I was initially diagnosed why RRMS years ago but i guess I also have secondary progressive. So does that mean I have both? Or did it mutate to become SPMS? If anyone else here has this experience can you please help me understand. Tha...

I have had RRM MS since 2000 and was told I'm now secondary progressive since 2023. It feels like it's become quite aggressive again interfering with work. I live alone. I've pushed to have my consultant appointment moved forward. I've been left mostly by myself with no constructive support in place. I'm not on disease modifiers. I've done so well but let's say since moving services has been obismal. I'm always pushing forward and challenging myself, but feeling like I'm loosing grip on reality. I'm that exhausted with the MS is anyone same and any advice to help is appreciated

Just Me Thinking Out Loud 🤔

For years, MS has been classified into RRMS, SPMS, and PPMS. But what if we looked at it differently? Would proposing a classification system based on lesion location be better to predict the disability risk and personalize treatment. Brain-Dominant MS (BDMS) – More cognitive and fatigue symptoms ...

Progressive MS

i’ve been coping with progressive MS for over 20 years. i’ve been on 3 different disease modifying therapies over that span. When does primary turn to secondary? i’ve never been satisfied with broad descriptions of this diseassesincd it really does seem like e every experience is unique.
