This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hi
for those of you who don't know me, been dx with MS 10 years. First 5 years frequent severe relapses, classified as an "interferon failure" on Rebif after 5 years. Switched to Copaxone against my neuros advice (he wanted me on Mitoxantrone but I said no because I wanted children) and to his surprise I have done fabulously well on Cop. I've had maybe 1 relapse a year in the last 5 years, very ...

It would appear that tuesday/wednesay's fatigue was building up to something bigger. On thursday things were feeling 'off', friday I took a half day at work so I had some relax time and by the evening both feet and my right leg were numb and weak, along with right arm weakness & increased difficulty walking.

I have to admit to you that I was in the middle of a crisis: experiments not working, which make me wonder why I even do research at all. Then I thought of patients, people that may benefit from ...

Double-Blind Trial of Dexamethasone versus Methylprednisolone in Multiple Sclerosis Acute Relapses

Hi there!! I'm new, obviously... and my name is Jen. I had my first symptom at 14, diagnosed at 15. Now that I'm 2 months away from being 20, my last visit with my neuro was a little odd for me. He told me that I might have NMO because I have inflamation in my spine, so I'm sitting on pins and needles for my results. Does anybody else have MS and NMO? I'm so ...

I am really struggling with fatigue at the moment. I am at work and practically in tears because I am so exhausted. It's obvious because my physical stuff gets worse - I'm staggering like a drunk person, my limbs feel weak and I can tell that i am having trouble forming words / my speech is slightly slurred. I feel like such a bad wife too - my house needs cleaning but by the time ...

I have relapse remitting MS and have been having a lot of pain in my left upper leg, hip and back. My doc is on vacation and another one did xrays and just emailed me the results without explaining them.

Said my SI joints, especially the right ones appear appear sclerotic but patent. Anybody have any idea what that means? I emailed this replacement doc back but haven't heard from her yet. I looked it ...
