Hello Again

Life swallows you up and you forget you're seriously ill until you have another relapse. I have to laugh otherwise I'll cry. Luckily, it's nowhere near as severe as my last just incredibly uncomfortable and is making work and study difficult. I'm also going to be starting my DMDs soon, I'm going to ...

Changing from Kesimpta to Ocrevus, Briumvi or Mavenclad

Fatigue at work

Hi guys! Please don’t judge but I’ve only found that drinking Monsters beats MS fatigue while at work. I know energy drinks are horrible for your heart so I was wondering what else I could drink or take to beat the fatigue on work days. Thank you for your insights and tips xxx

I have been looking for a low income apartment and finally found one just to be told I have to pay a $75 dollar application fee. I expla...

Disclosure of ms

Do you tell your colleagues at work? My manager in a meeting tried to tell me she thinks I should let them know. They are a small team we're all girls. They seem nice But when I began my role I did state I wanted my diagnosis confidential. I think some of my colleagues may already know. It is awkwar...

May 2021: First episode of optic neuritis, diagnosed as Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS).May 2026: Second episode of optic neuritis, leading to a diagnosis of Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS).April 2026: Changed jobs, experiencing increased stress and long working hours.August 2026: Started Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) DMT via injection.Current symptoms: Increased neuropathic pain and stiffness, along with a feeling of slight heaviness in my right arm.My concerns: Could these symptoms be related to MS activity, stress, or the effects of Ocrelizumab? How long does Ocrelizumab take to become effective, and should I be concerned about the worsening neuropathic pain and right-arm heaviness?
