Never had this happen before, as I've been symptom free for 16 yrs. Had ms 22 years . Any info id appreciate. Th...

Hi Everyone, Monday, June 29, 2020. 3:00pm. Dr. Mark Skeen, Chief Clinical Neurologist of Duke Health in Durham, NC looks at me and said, "Yes, today's two MRI's confirm my suspicions. Now, let's focus on medicine over the next weeks, so that we can attack this!" For nearly two years, I have been ...

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...

Hi all, The last couple of days I have been experiencing some weakness in my left leg, going from the area around the base of my spine all the way down to my foot. Sometimes it extends upwards into my left arm and shoulder. This is a totally new symptom for me and otherwise I feel well but this co...

Had rrms 22 years last relapse 16 yrs ago. Symptom free really so very lucky. A month ago all symptoms came back just like when diagnosed. Mri showed no relapse . Don't know when this will subside . Any info much appreciated. Thanks

My relatives did not approve of my decision and each time they scared me with scary stories and the fact that I would be an experimental mouse🤷. In Ukraine, MS treatment is very expensive, and I think that for me this is a chance to ge...

I have read that rrms always eventually becomes spms. Is this so? I have a neuro who says that usually by my age (53 and diagnosed at 29), ms has established the pattern it is going to be. One sounds promising and one not so much. What would clue me in that it’s becoming spms? I have more difficu...

So I’m waiting for a diagnosis of various symptoms. I had an appointment via video link at home with a neurologist and I just feel like I messed it up. I’ve been waiting for 6 months , in pain , and I couldn’t articulate my symptoms . He asked me if it’s there all the time or now and again - I an...

Hi everyone! I'm just coming back to check in as I realise I've not been around for a while. I had NEDA (No Evidence of Disease Activity) on my last MRI and have been feeling fine since then *touch wood* I became friends with an amazing woman who also has MS and hosts a podcast about living with a...
