I Have Multiple Sclerosis

I was just diagnosed with MS I am not sure just what to expect. My Dr. perscribed Copaxone to start with. What should I expect?

In a previous post I discussed my need for exercise and my almost pathological
desire to avoid it. I have collected four scripts from four different mds and still I sit.
Well, I actually contacted the insurance company. They have...

The truth is ALL of my old acquaintances (friends) disappeared almost immediately upon diagnoses. And you know? ... Screw them! The lungs are still expanding and my capillaries are still flowing. Honey's coming home and the grand kids a...

Was the best MS med you have taken. Mine happened to have been Tysabri. It was amazing how well my MS was under control. I used braces on my legs and a cane to keep me shooting straight. Then after 5 years I tested positive for the JC...

There are many different pains that come along with MS. Physical, emotional, mental, psychological, pick one. One of my initial symptoms were my feet. They would spasm out of control and wake me up out of a sound sleep. My arches would...

When I was first diagnosed with ms, medically there was baclofen, steroids and not much else. No ABC drugs, nothing on the table for me to choose from as to where to go from here. The first neurologist was a real dick. He basically said...

I had my first Rebif injection yesterday. Really reacted to it and had quite bad flu symptoms. Feeling in a dark place at the moment. I am alone and have no partner and my family is distant. I only have one friend really. My work...
