Cover up tattoo? Hahahaha

... diplopy crisis that COULD have changed my life, but it has not changed it thanks to my resilience ... yes resilience (one day I'm going to have a tattoo with that word), my strength to live and my resistance in accepting the doctors' prognosis. I could not bear to see people talking about palliative ...

... leveled out. So at this point, I know there is residual brain damage, scar tissue, black holes that will most likely always be there like a hidden tattoo, but with MS most of the day-to-day grind involves symptoms affecting the body and mind. And I just don't have any I can point at and say, "definitely ...

That is plain scary. Has anyone ever met with the radiologist who read their MRI? I was thinking of trying to do that next time as I am curious about my brainstem.

Blossom, I do hope that tattoo technology quickly advances so your gorilla can dance on your butt. Less chance of being missed.

... only the patient living this nightmare "what could your common sence and instinct be worth. well, it makes me feel like getting a little tattoo of this little fellow put on my butt :(|) and asking if they can all see the gorilla now. pretty scarey what can be missed over looked and misdiagnosed.

My partner has MS and a four tattoos, none big. I had thought that they were fine with MS but the fact that so many MSers seem to be covered in tattoos got me thinking. Firstly, tattoos don't cause MS obviously but the onset and worst attacks ...

Hi all! I got my dx in deember of 2011, and began taking Rebif in March 2012. Prior to beginning the therapy, I acquired a few tattoos, and never had any issue with healing or ink retention. My most recent tattoo, just two weeks ago (and a few months into therapy) has taken forever to ...

... important. Are we going to see it become the procedure that is done in back alleys like abortion used to be? Are "MS" diagnoses really a tattoo given to an underclass of people whose existence is an embarrassment to right-thinking professionals? Will it only be done now by activist humanitarians? ...
