Hello! I think I need advice from someone a bit more experienced than me. Does any of you have both glaucoma and MS? How do you get it diagnosed? After my recent optic neuritis (in march) my optician suggested a week ago that I might have glaucoma, but that she is not certain, as it damages nerves i...

I just joined yesterday and I just wanna say how absolutely amazing this site is. I've been fairly unphased by my recent diagnosis, probably because I've known there's something not quite right with me for a while so when I found out it's something that isn't terminal like cancer or motor neuron dis...

At this point I have to just laugh. I was in hospital last week, was diagnosed with MS. Discharged last Friday, put on steroids while in hospital, symptoms cleared up by Tuesday and I woke up this morning with a very, heavy arm with horrible cramps and pins and needles. Tried to contact enable but n...

Morning all, I've been med free for 15+ years since diagnosis but a couple of recent relapses (including my first learning to walk again episode) have put me on a treatment plan.

Unfortunately I ended up going into a massive episode (I still don't know lingo) and i woke up one morning not being able to w...

Still in the throes of diagnosis. I was prescribed Baclofen for my left leg but reacted badly including losing all balance and having double vision. Then moved to Gabapentin. My left leg has now swollen and I cannot wear my trousers let alone shoes... What next? Your experience please…

Hi, I’m Kim ! I’m 48, about to be 49 . I’ve had RRMS for 11 years now . What a blow to be hit with in your 30’s . I was diagnosed the same time I had to get breast surgery . My now , EX husband wasn’t too much of a supportive man during my years of battling meds and seeing which ones helped 🙁 But...

Tingling in arms / hands - MS or not Hello. I have been diagnosed with RRMS and wondered about a strange issue with my hands/arms In both arms I can run my finger lightly down my inner edge of my forearm, thumb side, and it is kind of numb and tingly at the same time. It can give me tingly hands too...

I want to share my experiences with everyone about my ketogenic diet. The Keto diet is very low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats with a medium protein intake, and it is designed to put you into ketosis, which makes your body burn fat for energy, instead of glucose. The benefits can be ama...
