Did anyone ever realize that symptoms start with the right side? Looking through all comments it seems to be the truth. My complete right side is so much weaker. Please tell me I'm not the only one n reading too much into this?

Tecfidera reviews wanted! Anyone else on this?

Just wondering if anyone else out there has made the switch to Tecfidera? I used to be on Copaxone but hated the needles so have switched to the pills! They're not going so well at the moment! I'm on week 3 and have terrible cramping in my stomach, nausea, headaches, bloating, indigestion and reflux...

Who else has been told this...

I was diagnosed in 2021. I was told by my neurologist my MS was a death sentence and i had 7 years left to live. Has anyone else heard this before?

We've got this...

It struck me this weekend that people with MS are actually probably particularly well equipped to deal with the coronavirus outbreak. Compared to the rest of the population, we are all used to: - Being stuck in limbo, nobody can ever tell us how long something will last and if it will be permanent,...

I confess I faked it for the first year I was diagnosed. I pretend to be like everyone else “normal” It was hard n it should have been I was living a lie in a way. I believe it was because I was diagnosed with ms when I was still in high school 17 years old. So honestly I am 40 now and feel free like I was forced to hide everything in my secret box in my mind and now it’s ok to be honest,to make friends with people who are like me that I can listen and also learn which I’m embarrassed to admit this is true that I’ve finally accepted that I have Multiple Sclerosis n that’s ok.

Hey everyone 👋 I’m Dylan, a 38-year-old guy living with MS out here in Saskatchewan. I run a legal weed dispensary (yes, I’m that guy), and I use dark humor, sarcasm, and a whole lot of cannabis to get through the weirdness that is life with MS.I figured it was time to find a space with people who get it the fatigue, the brain fog, the “oh cool, my leg’s just doing its own thing now” moments. I’m just here to connect, share some laughs (the darker the better), and not feel like I’m the only one in the snow belt dealing with this.If you're in or around Saskatchewanor even if you're not say hi. I don’t bite. Unless it's a bad MS day and my jaw spasms. (Kidding. Mostly.)Looking forward to getting to know some fellow weirdos on this ride
