Hi everyone, I have been waiting for progress but, unsurprisingly, it is slow going. I have had MS symptoms getting on for 5 years before doctors referred me to a neurologist this time last year. I had my first MRI in February and was diagnosed with RRMS in March and the neuro has taken my first s...

Injections - New Treatment Question

I started Glatiramer Acetate (Copaxone) injections last Friday. I had a nurse with me for the first one and I did my first one on my own today. The one with the nurse was a breeze (my stomach) and I barley felt it. I thought "oh this is going to be easy, no problem" and I had a tiny reaction for an...

No treatment

Please, if you've chosen not to follow any long term treatment ever since you've been diagnosed, tell me how your symptoms have developed? And please, share your motivation for not subscribing to it. Do you regret it? Have you taken this decision with your neurologist or by yourself? I have been...

Choosing a treatment

Hey I'm new here after being diagnosed in mid-December with relapsing remitting MS. The two neurologists I've seen have both been keen to get me started on treatment. I am currently in my 3rd year at university though, and am worried about the side effects medication could have on my ability to do ...

No treatment reasons?

I've noticed on people's profile's it says lots of you are 'not on any treatment'. Out of interest, can I be nosy and ask why you have chosen not to take any? I'm curious, as that never really even crossed my mind! Thanks, Sarah x

Presently receiving my first Ocrevus treatment, with mixed emotions.

I received my diagnosis last summer. I have had strange months since. I know I am doing the right thing for my health right now, but I can’t help feeling sad about this unique day in my life. There was my life before and following this day, I will live in a new After.... Anyone has felt like that ?...

Treatment by Tablet?

Hi, I know there's been a huge buzz around the tablets being introduced to treat MS instead of the dreaded injections(which we must get to grips with to continue!) Has anyone on here been prescribed the tablets instead? And how are you getting on with them? Take care xxx

Disappointing Treatment Plan!

Greetings everyone! First post, newly diagnosed and pretty disappointed with the level of 'care' received throughout diagnosis and most importantly after diagnosis. To cut it short, after months of tests, dismissive doctors and a whole bunch of frustration; the consultant confirmed it was ms based ...
