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.

I was diagnosed when I was 27 and was fine till I had a really stressful time , losing my mum and dad and a baby at 34 weeks , that was 5 years ago and just can’t seem to get back to where I was , I trip over constantly resulting in many falls the last one ended up in busting my hand up and breaking my engagement ring , I know it’s only a ring but just feel like I’m falling apart, also bad coughing fits for no reason where I actually thought I was going to pass out !

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...

That I would share a new find that helps with swelling and stress. My doctor recommended it and it has been a relief from the random pain. It’s a vibration plate it helps drain the the lymph nodes. It has been a games changer.
