The symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary significantly from one person to another. Many experience sensory issues such as optic neuritis (blurred vision), pins and needles or neuropathic pain. Others have difficulty with movement, including problems with coordination, dexterity or foot drop. Fatigue is often described as the most common MS symptom. Learn more about MS symptoms and how they can be managed with treatments by speaking to others who understand.

Mis diagnosis

After a pituitary tumour was removed I had a condition called Cushings Disease which has similar symptoms to MS . After saying I still didn't feel well , by pure chance a doctor decided to look a my MRI's and tests it was discovered that I had PPMS .

Moving to Ocrevus

I’m moving to ocrevus from Kesimpta and I’m a little nervous! I’m moving because I don’t really have any symptoms thankfully but I get incredibly tired for about 24 hrs and it really bums me out once a month.

Almost sent home

I almost got sent home from the OCREVUS unit today, because I have a cold. I knew I wouldn’t be able to have it if I had Covid or a chest infection, but didn’t think a cold would be an issue. Luckily after a lot of waiting around, conversations about my cough and sniffles with the staff, and a ...

Even then the Doctor was still uncertain and chose to call it Tranverse Myelitis. 5 years later, same symptoms. Only this time, I was sensitive to hot and cold. I had an MRI, Spinal tap, and evoked po...
