This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hello all, I was diagnosed in 2008 with relapse-remitting and have been on Tysabri for two and a half years now. Not sure that it's working so great, though; six months ago, I could run five miles, now, I walk with a severe foot drop. I will post some of my comments/concerns in the Tysabri board. Until then, greetings, and I hope you, yes YOU are having an awesome day.

I'm the partner/carer of my girlfriend who has MS.... Just thought I'd say hello:) We post on the http://www.shift.ms site a fair bit

I have chronic renal failure as well, just to add to the fun:) She's learning about my condition, I about MS.. We hope, whatever means to stay independent to some degree and live together.. Life is a challenge :)

So hello all:)

Good morning!

First off, I must confess I've been stalking this forum for about two months. I have learned so much from all the posts on here. I would have been a basket case after diagnosis if it weren't for the knowledge I gained before my appointment.

This might get long, but need to get it out...Thank you in advance for your time and patience.

I was diagnosed with CIS on November 5th, two days ...

Finally got a call back from my neuro, and with one lesion on my brain and one on my spine that caused left sided parathesis (numbness) last August, and with more than five oligoclonal bands in CSF, I have my MS diagnosis. I was actually more upset at the doc not calling back for more than a week after her knowing the results (long story) than the actual dx.

Anyway, now I'm trying to figure ...

Hey guys,
This is the first time I have used a forum, so here goes. I am a college student, and just been starting to deal with what I have been hiding in the back of my mind for all of my life. My dad has MS. He was diagnosed around 20 years ago. He is doing fine and on Copaxone. He does not have any noticeable physical symptoms, or any others that he has ...

Hey guys/gals,

My name is Sean, and although I have yet to be 100% diagnosed with ms, my doctor and neurologist are painting a very dintinct picture of its possibility. I have been going crazy in my mind for the last 8 years of my life with experience a range of symtoms that could easily fit in a number of neurological disorders. I guess I just figured that even at the very least writing all ...

Hi everyone,

I wasn't sure where to post this since I've already made my introduction in March of this year, but I guess I'm in the right place. Again I'm 25, male, and more and more depressed by every new check-up.

I'm really starting to doubt my MS diagnosis after my second MRI from a week ago, even though MS was officially confirmed. I doubt it for two reasons, and that is where I need ...

27 years ago, I had optic neuritis (no MRIs then). I lost all vision in one eye within a week. I had no treatment. Gradually, over apx. a year's period, my vision returned totally. FF 27 years. I was walking across a parking lot, and all the sudden, one whole side of my body went paralyzed. I couldn't walk. I could talk and asked a stranger for help (they proceeded to finishing loading their car ...

So I had sort of posted here before when I had a feeling that I may have MS. I didn't post much after, because I hadn't been diagnosed.

Well within the last month I suddenly got a black dot in my vision which grew over day and my vision went grey (only in my right eye). Initially I thought it was optic neuritis, and family members who have MS said that ON was what lead ...

My name is Kristin, I'm 24.. I'm a navy wife & mother of an almost 4 yr old little girl. I'm very active, or at least I was.. I posted a thread in the 'undiagnosed' section. My drs are right now ruling out autoimmune diseases but are also looking at MS. I have a wide array of symptoms... From numbness & tingling, joint pain & puffiness, possible optic neuritis... To twitching muscles all over my ...
