Uncertainty

So, I'm managing well on Tysabri, being completely symptom free. On the one hand - I appreciate every moment more and am very grateful that I feel "normal", and hope it will stay that way for a long time. On the other hand - there is this uncertainty, I lived with Ms symptoms for a couple of year...

Uncertainty, humour and coping strategies

Hi, everybody! This might be a chaotic post, but I hope you will bare with me. I guess I finally found the guts (or needs?) to reach out actively to fellow fellows. It might have been triggered by the fact that I have just now been watching some of the videos here at shift.ms and they made me laugh ...

Undiagnosed - lots of waiting & uncertainty

Hi all, I’ve been reading a lot of posts and thought I’d share a bit about what’s happening with me and wanting to say hello and connect with others who might be experiencing similar. I’ve had lots of sensory symptoms, pins and needles, eye floaters and flashes, tinnitus, sensitive to touch, and at...

Uncertainty/ hopelessness

I got diagnosed with MS about 5 years ago and at first I was really positive. Now I’m getting towards 30 and feel like I should be more grown up (!) but I worry about what my future looks like. I like to have a plan, and worry that my symptoms could get worse and the rug will be pulled from under me...

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,...

Not diagnosed - but truly convinced!

Hi there, Team Shift.MS, First of all - just wanted to say what a nice, upbeat site this seems to be. I've been sniffing around a few other MS/other random symptoms websites, but the vibe here seems really positive. :) So, hello, first-time poster. At the mo, the only MS I have stands for 'myster...

Hi, from Scotland

I was pointed towards shift.ms as a great community and resource for MS. I’ve been newly diagnosed, and will be on Ocrevus once I’ve had my vaccinations. I stay near-ish Edinburgh, but will at least be having my infusions at there. Bit of a rubbish hand we’ve been dealt, haven’t we? Some days I’m f...

Feeling like no one understands

Feel so crappy today. I'm on a few online groups that are supposed to be there to support people with MS. However, there always seems to be individuals that are not yet diagnosed that are disappointed when they are told that their doctor doesn't think they have MS. I find the behaviour of wanting an...

When To Tell Friends?

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with MS in October after a couple months of uncertainty. I was just wondering how you decided who to tell about your MS. I have been having trouble with this lately.

Relapse Reaction?

I've only had one real 'relapse' as such in that I noticed it. It was my first real noticeable relapse and the symptoms of such were what sent me to the hospital in uncertainty of what was happening, and led to my DX. So that means I don't have a lot of experience When you have a relapse, how d...
