Hi: My loving wife diagnosed 2 weeks before 9/11. On co-paxon. Rem itting/Relapsing. Her brother was diagnosed 2 weeks before she was and that is how we finally discovered what was wrong with her.

Hi, I am a caregiver for my husband. He has had MS for over 25 years but wasn't diagnosised until 1994 with onset of ON in L eye.

His body has had ...

Live in southern England, still working (thank goodness) spend my leisure (ha) time raising funds for the MSRC through my Humour Site - Squiffy's House of Fun and also through my London Marathon page.

Hello all,

I've been reading this site since I was diagnosed with MS in October 2004. I thought I would finally intoduce myself and try to find out some practical answers to my questions.

My symptoms were/are numbness/tingling from the abdomen down through both legs. My right knee was also fairly weak and unstable. I had painful cramping feelings in my feet as if my toes were tied in knots. Initially, the docs thought I ...

Hi - I'm new to this site. Am very interested in hearing from anyone with both MS and Crohn's. I'll be starting on Tysabri March 1, so also very interested in your stores re: Tysabri!
