Symptoms to date!

So far.... Approx 3 months ago, I had a constant itch on the calf of my right leg. (May or may not be related). Around the same time I had sporadic pains in my right leg. They would last only seconds and would move from calf to thigh, to buttock and finally in groin which seemed to last for a while....

Hello, everyone! My name is Nicole and I am new to Shift. MS. This is my first post. I was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting MS in December of 2015. For me, it was a quick diagnosis.

Gut Instinct

Hello, everyone. So, I have recently been going through a bit of discomfort since the end of July. What started as a very slow progression and tenderness in my left kidney area has increased into an annoying and relentless pressure and tenderness across the left side of my abdomen. Nausea along wi...

Reflection / Acceptance

In 2013 I started drinking heavily . I felt depressed and couldn’t handle stressful situations that up and until then I wouldn’t have battered an eyelid at . I’d spent my twenties believing I knew it all and was riding a high that would never end . But then something happened and I couldn’t cope ...

After reading some of the stories on here, and realizing, I am not the only one actually means a lot to find some people that understand what I am going through. I just don’t understand why the doctors neurologist are just using me as a test subject and treating me like a science project And some of the stories are similar to what I am still going through how does anybody else deal with their bladder issues? I have a family member that does self catheterization, but I’m not doing that, but it is kind of embarrassing when you do have an accident in the middle of Walmart I’ve been using briefs to prevent it from happening again.

Tendinitis in Leg/Hip

I saw my Doctor and my MS nurse about a very painful hip. I was told it's not my MS but I would argue otherwise! I have symptoms of tendinitis down the outside of my thigh and inner groin but when I walk it feels like a trapped nerve in my hip socket. Pain killer sort of help until I catch it and I...
