Community poll results are in! What age were you at diagnosis?

We love it when our community comes together to share their experiences. Not too long ago, @Eylem7990 asked how old you were at dx, and we were thrilled to see so many responses flood in. We decided to crunch the numbers and turn it into a handy little graphic so you can visualise the numbers. Are...

First Early Symptoms? What were yours?

Hi Everyone! This is my first post. I am not yet diagnosed - waiting for first MRI in a week. I have Lhermitte’s, and a pulsating buzzing that is moving around my body.

Gilenya weakness / fatigue

Hi everyone, I started on Gilenya about 2 weeks ago. I had no side effects for the 1st week but over the last week I've felt very weak. Less strength in my legs and somewhat fatigued. I see that these are reported as side-effects. Has anyone else experienced this on Gilenya ? Did it pass ?

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,...

When were you born

My birthday is in April and I know a few ms'ers who were also born in the early spring (mothers pregnant during winter no summer sun low vitamin D) wonder how this fits with everyone on here. Cheers Chris.
