Hi @brian_h started Tec myself on 1/12018 best yr so far, usually have 2/3 relapses a year and none this yr so far. Thanks for the post about the dogs, but I digress, it might be a relapse, but as an old codger who has had the beast for 25 yrs, it could just be 'a bad few days', everyone of us is so different and weve all just had a couple of very busy days, doesn't matter whether you've had loads of family for Chrstmas dinner, or been on your own, the stress won't have helped. Wait until the New Year is over, re-assess then, if things are still going downback, call your gp or your ms nurse. Best of luck and a peaceful and happy New Year to you.🎉😜😍

Hi @brian-h Similar to me your last relapse was 2016 and you’ve had optic neuritis. Not sure about your symptoms, there is often talk about ‘flare ups’ on this site as distinct from relapses. The way I see it, you doing everything you can... starting Tec. I started it in late 2016 and have not had a noticeable relapse since. You are in the shape you are with no neurologist date, starting the Tec. Is only going to put you in a better position.Keep this ‘best response’ attitude, work through the mental process that results in you accepting your diagnosis and you’ll be in the best place you can be. Some perspective sometimes helps, following my brain scan, I was relieved they didn’t spot a tumour and my wife was surprised they found a brain! All the best for the new year as you start to positively address a condition you only recently found out you had. All the best Dan
