Hi I'm new here and I'm wondering if anybody's experienced eye issues this is the first for me. I've been diagnosed since 2007. Most of my lesions are in my brain and my spinal cord on the top. And I didn't have any eye pain but I had like lights sparkle flashing I had a blackout in my right eye for about 30 minutes the first day the second day it was only a few minutes and then the third day my eye was swollen shut. I went to the hospital for 3 days they put me on steroids ruled out a stroke. There was only a visiting neurologist because I was out of state and they had no answers so just curious if anybody can give me any feedback on that thank you..❤️

A future possibility - (from WebMD)

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine, have found that taking N-acetylglucosamine, a simple sugar compound that can be used as a dietary supplement, has helped ease MS patients’ inflammation levels and has the potential to promote myelin repair. Michael Demetriou, MD, PhD, the lead...

Shortness of breath... has anyone on here have had this come out of nowhere? It happened to me lastnight went to the hospital they did chest x-rays and CT scan with dye bloodwork.. and nothing showed at first they believed I may have either the flu or pneumonia but nothing... can this be from the MS?

UPDATE: Just seen my primary doctor she says that I have an enlarged heart and the start of pneumonia... So gonna get started on antibiotics for the pneumonia and now have to call to set up to see a cardiologist for my heart..

I think I suffer from SAD...seasonal affect depression. I'm loving the weather so far. I get up most days and go for a walk it really does help with the fatigue, mental health issues and overall mood. How are you guys.

Today I went into Burlington and I dont know if it was overstimulation or what, my eyes started to hurt, I felt dizzy to the point of passing out. I was with my kids, I was so terrified I just wanted to cry 😢 😭 💔 If it was wasn't for my kids, I just wish I could be done with this already.

My MS went away 😬

Hey guys so does anyone ever question if they still have MS? I know when I was first dx yrs ago, it was horrible. I had constant flare ups and a daily battle. BUT I have been flare up free for at least 3yrs! How long has any gone without a flare up? Because not I kinda say, I don’t have MS

How long did it take to get started on Kesimpta once your doctor put in the order? Been a week and insurance needs a prior authorization so called the doctors office to make sure they send it in but have not heard back. Does it take some time to process and then waiting for a nurse to call me to schedule the first dose so been waiting to get started already to see if it helps especially since been going through rough symptoms and therapy!
