Will be interesting to see if this switch-trend pattern occurs in the UK..... https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/news-posts/2021/04/07/tecfidera-gilenya-ocrevus-losing-ground-ms-dmt-switches-us-spherix-survey/??utm_medium=desktop-push-notification&utm_source=Notifications&utm_campaign=OneSignal

Does anyone have any thoughts re 2 X crutches against a walker in terms of enabling me to build my stamina for walking? My ego is opting for the crutches on every occasion, but I tire fairly quickly, really have no concept how far I am able to manage comfortably without so doing, and then the urgent...

I feel like my MS has got worse and I cannot walk very far anymore, but I do not want to use a wheelchair as I want to be upright for as long as possible. If I could ride my bike then I could travel further and would not feel so restricted. I am too unstable on my two wheel bike but I am convinced...

Hi everyone, I am 50 and have had MS for almost 25 years. I have been on Tecfidera for ten years and my Neurologist noticed my white blood cell count taking a downward trend since I started it. He wants me to stop taking it for six months to see if there are any changes in my blood tests. The thoug...

What does Shift MS think about this weeks BMJ report that people with MS die, on average, age 66? See : Figure 5 in https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/683998/Deaths_associated_with_neurological_conditions_data_briefing.pdf I had been told that death occurred ...

Guys, Firstly I consider myself very lucky that my MS follows very much the Relapse/Remission pattern. I was wondering if those of you in a similar situation have noted any pattern in the time of year your relapse trends to hit? For the last 6 years or so..... although I get the odd niggle througho...

Hello everyone. Am currently recovering from my 6th relapse in 2 years. I got out of hospital about a week ago (after 4 weeks... home bed is sooooo nice!), and am now at home, managing (with services / help), but really really over it. I am still using crutches (elbow crutches) to get around. Somet...

I finally bought a trendy looking walker and only use it when I need to walk long distant walks. I love it, it feels safe and I feel confident. I have a walking stick but no luck getting use to it.

Hi folks, it's been a while I know. That was down to me attempting to convince myself that this thing wasn't real, i guess 'deniability' would be the operable (inoperable?) word. Anyway, I can't hide any longer, approx 2:30 am this morning I was lying on my bed (couch actually, always preferred to ...

bucking the trend a bit here but I didn't have MS until my baby was a year old (they say it takes 12 months for the protective pregnancy hormones to leave the mum). I was starting to slowly recover & got pregnant again & took a nose dive. I am positive pregnancy put me here. My MS nurse said "I've h...
