Hey all, I'm a 28 year old man from the rainy Pacific Northwest, new to this site and new to MS.

Short story is, back in July 2012 I started loosing feeling and had numbness and tingling from my waist down. I didn't have insurance and had to go to the local free clinic. Well due to all the paperwork and being passed around from doctor to doctor things were going slow. Then on Aug ...

Hi out there. I was diagnosed w/ MS (RRMS) 3 weeks ago and have been educating myself and sharing with direct family members and close friends. I finally completed all of the required "baseline" tests before starting with medication. I've chosen Aubagio to begin this journey with. After talking to the pharmacist yesterday I find that the reality of this diagnosis is just now hitting me (a bit scared).

After hearing and reading about the ...

Hello all,glad to find this forum,

I was immediately kept in the hospital, in the neuroophtalmology department (wrong department if you ask me,I think straight neurology would have been better),and received a medrol treatment (3days of infusion,3 of injections,and the remaining in pills).

Hey everyone:

I'm not sure how that would help, but I figure it doesn't hurt. ...

I had an "attack" last week that sent me to the ER...I had left sided "pins and needles" in my face, arm and leg that last about two hours. It started in my arm and then spread to my face and leg.

Hello all,
I joined this group to hopefully get more information from regular everyday people. I am not a hypochondriac, but the last few months have made me feel like maybe I am.

Most recently, I was diagnosed with uveitis in my right eye. Began October 2012. Initially a doctor treated me for pink eye as the flare up was really bad. But I continued to have distorted vision in my right eye, pain, inflammation, ...
