I've had depression for a long time and have been on antidepressants for about 3 years now (Citalopram). My mood has been pretty stable in that time, but since starting Copaxone 3 weeks ago my depression seems to have returned with a vengeance, and I'm really struggling to shift my low mood. Readi...

From MS Society With shielding set to be paused in all four nations of the UK in August, we want the UK Government to support people with MS who can’t safely go back to work. We’re campaigning with Age UK, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and 9 other charities. Together, we’re calling for the furlou...

Three fingers on my hand keep curling under. Anyone else have this problem

He knew from the outset of the relationship that I had ms and it is a degenerative disease...

I don't qualify for Ocrevus either. What I believe is helping me is Low Level Light Therapy. I found a chiropractor who uses it on primarily MS patients. It take about fifteen minutes a treatment: the doctor uses a wand on my spinal cord on my back. I've been using it weekly until the Stay at Home o...

I developed ITP (low platelets) and low white count 3 years after Round 2 of Lemtrada. It has been 7 months now and I am taking Promacta for my low platelet counts. My neutrophils are staying low and currently are 0.1. Has anyone else developed ITP or low white counts that lasted this long?

Anyone else get highly f*cked off when people spread misinformation about the genetic link in MS? Plus the idea that a parent with MS would be less than and is selfish for wanting to have children!? I have enjoyed my life, I am still enjoying my life at 29, 2 years post diagnosis. Had my parents ha...
