Hi folks. I was diagnosed with MS 2018. I've recently retired on health grounds and have just been granted PIP which is a great help. I'm very reluctant to visit anywhere where I dont know where the nearest loo is. Nightmare in the current climate !!! (covid19) Mobility is a problem re walking and b...

Hi, first post. I was diagnosed almost 7 years ago, in 2013. Initially, I was diagnosed with PPMS, this was changed to RRMS a year later after a big relapse that made it difficult to speak and walk. Almost straight away, I was put on Baclofen and began 2 years of Tysabri. Eventually, I was able to w...

Hi my name is Dominique. I went into the hospital last week because I had some type of stiffness, weakness on my left side. I instantly thought it was side effects to my medication, but long behold, after a MRI, they found lesions in my brain and spinal cord. Being diagnosed with RRMS and being a ...

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...

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?

Hi there! First time posting here. I was diagnosed with RRMS 8 years ago and am recently experiencing major fecal urgency. It’s scaring me. Does anyone have any insight or advice? I’m terrified that I’ll be out and the urge will hit me and there won’t be a bathroom nearby.

Hi, I'm Sofia and I was literally diagnosed last week after suffering very mild symptoms here and there since January 2019 which were overlooked, belittled and misdiagnosed. 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...

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. I'm due to start taking tecfidera soon and wondered how it may affect my exercising? I currently cycle on a static trai...

Hello this is my first post, although I have been following the forum for several months. I was diagnosed in January and my MS nurse recommended the site. I want to say thank you to you all for all the support you give to each other and new people like me and loads of information that I have picked ...

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...
