something specific?

My name is Ana. I was diagnosed with MS relapsing remmiting type in 2015. The onset of my MS started in 2011 but I didn't know it. I was diagnosed first with severe Anxiety/Depressive disorder with Panic attacks. I am in constant nerve pain, numbness, spascisity and other symptoms. The evenings are...

Does anyone else experience bruising easy or not remembering where bruises came from. I find bruises all the time and have no idea where they have came from. Could it be ms or my meds, I recently started tecfidera.

2001 Optic neuritis. Go blind suddenly - and fortunately temporarily - in one eye. Ophthalmologist sends me to neurologist. The neurologist tells me in a jovial tone to say that I have had optic neuropathy to insurers - if I say optic neuritis they’d put me down as having MS. MRI done. No follow up...

Diagnosed yesterday (by phone of course, thanks COVID) with RRMS. Was expecting it so not surprised. Now have to decide between Aubagio and Tecfidera. I’m tending towards Tecfidera but would welcome feedback / opinions / advice. Thanks 😊

Now, let's focus on medicine over the next weeks, so that we can attack this!" For nearly two years, I have been ...

Hello MSers! I was wondering if you have ever woken up with numb hands and if this could be related to MS or medication (Tecfidera)? This sensation is different, is just like when you sleep in a weird position and your arm or legs fall asleep, very different from the normal MS numbness and tingling...

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...

I was diagnosed with RRMS last week. The neuro gave me some options in regards to treatment; I'm to take a week to educate myself and hopefully come to a decision. Tomorrow will be one week. I'm leaning towards Tecfidera, but I'm absolutely terrified. I'm terrified about all of this, but in regards ...
