Not everything is MS?

I had a pounding headache for days, it got worse every day. At first I was afraid, I was petrified thinking it was my blood pressure but I checked it several times a day and it was fine. Headache got worse. Then I just said to myself, this is just another MS headache and it too shall pass… but it ...

A Great Week.

Things have been rough for a while. My DMT served me well for about 15 years but I have seen my symptoms progress over the last couple of years - especially since November. I had to stop working and driving earlier this year (wasn’t confident in my braking ability). We also realized that we need to ...

My story(open for tips and tricks 🥰)

Hi guys, here's my story. I guess it would be nice to share it with people who would understand how I feel. It all started with my overworking myself at my nursing job.

Wondering

I’m wondering if there’s anyone in the Seattle area who would be willing to chat/share info about their neurologist? Lately I’ve started to wonder if my neuro has too much on his plate to keep up with all his patients. As much as I don’t want to have to start all over again with a new doctor, I thin...

MS or disc herniation

Back in 2018 and 2019 I had MRIs done on my spine and brain. In the course of those scans it showed that I had a herniated disc in my neck. My neurologist never told me about this. To keep this short I only found out about this herniated disc because I decided to switch doctors and pull all my medic...

PIP/ADP?

I wanted to know what people’s experience of applying for (previously known as PIP) ADP? I applied for PIP the year I was diagnosed and I scored 0. So to them my disability does not affect any aspect of my life. I obviously wasn’t hitting enough of their buzz words! I also think because MS is life...

Stuck deciding...

My arms and legs now do pretty much anything they want to do....but not what I need them to do. Body control is now so bad that I struggle with everything. The GP has run out of allowed options and is concerned about my daily living. The only step forward is a referral to a MS specialist for the ...

Pregabalin Bloat

Hi, do any long term users of Pregabalin struggle with weight creep/water retention and/or bloat? Finding it so disheartening to be eating so well and fasting, exercising for my age and body type and finding that the clothing is tight. I seem to have gained 2 kg in last 4 weeks. I’ve considered it’s...
