something specific?

I was diagnosed with relapse remitting MS in around 2010, and have been very fortunate to only experience 1 relapse since this first attack. It may be coincidence, however since the initial diagnosis and subsequent treatment, I have been experiencing back pain which is worse in the morning. The pain...

Good morning all, My name is Laura and I’m 30 years old. This morning I’m sitting waiting to take my first Tecfidera tablet which was delivered yesterday. I genuinely thought I just had damaged nerves in my back from pushing myself at an exercise class, falling over as my leg stopped working and no...

Years ago I needed to change my life completely! Why? That was not my choice but my health conditions. I was diagnosed with MS and it felt heavy to carry with me. After 17 years living with MS I feel that there is something more I can do. I`m thinking of creating MS mom needs serving, supportive, a...

Hi all I'm new to the group having only been told I have MS last Thursday although haven't been officially diagnosed but the MS consultant is pretty sure. Bit of a whirlwind following the news bit being as positive as I can. I have an appointment with my specialist nurse in a couple weeks where trea...

I am wondering if anyone has seen either a geneticist or immunologist in the context of your MS. My brother is encouraging me to go, and he is also encouraging me to eat a keto diet. He doesn't quite articulate what he thinks these other doctors can do for me. My brother reads a lot of books about h...
