I am not getting any thoughts about my situation right now. I cannot comprehend on what’s happening. It’s just scary and frustrating. I am so lost and I feel like no one understands me. I just had another episode of ON nearly after a year. I am just scared. I am an international student in WA and it’s so expensive. The tests and everything. I cannot keep going. I am just so so so lost.

Thank you for having me here. I was diagnosed with MS last year 2024 December. Had brain lesions and tremors and a few other things. Still hoping God would make the diagnosis wrong. Started some treatment. Helped a while then didn't. Changed doctors new meds very caring team but symptoms are becoming more pronounced. Feel sad and down alot. Wonder if I did wrong by seeking better help and why the symptoms are getting more obvious

Anyone else diagnosed with Spinal MS? I had never heard of it until I was diagnosed a year ago. I have cists from my C1 to C7 of my spine. Causes paralysis on my right side and severe nerve pain that is like seering burning needle like pain in my left. My eyes, hearing and memory has been greatly affected too.

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..❤️
