Congrats!

I made a little "pact" with myself regarding cleaning...on days that I am tired I decide to order food in and in that time that takes them to deliver it (app. 45 minutes) I clean. Maybe this is an idea for others too, it helps me because I get demotivated if I think about hoe I have too co...

It's been a while since I've checked in here. :) I had another MR and the results (as I am more than happy to say) are ok (no new lesions, no active ones). Yaaaay :) I also had a consult about my polycistic ovaries and have now confirmed PCOS. During this tests they also did a thorough blood work - ...

I think all of us are worried about our future in some kind of way (what if I don't finish school, what if I don't get the job, what if...), I was worried about the future before I was diagnosed but the worries were a bit different...now that I have MS I am mostly worried about that - when I'm worri...

Welcome all

ladykatie I know...this is a big news and can be very overwhelming at first, take your time to "digest" it and take care of yourself

So, the gardening season is almost over and I thought it is time to check-in. ;) We had a pretty crappy summer, so some plants in my garden were not really a success but I still had a lot of fun with it. ;) I am still doing ok and am happy for it. :) I have a check-up MR in December so we will see h...

Regarding magnesium - I also tried magnesium citrate and I think it worked well. I am also trying different forms of mg, at work I have pills that you dissolve in your mouth, at home I have the ones you just swallow. I also had magnesium in form of granules that you put directly on your tongue, it i...

As long as we can laugh at ourselves...

My neuro said exactly the same, the drugs lessens the frequency of relapses - for example if you would have 3 relapses without drugs, with drugs you would have only 2. But my question here is, how is this measured if this disease is unpredictable - some patients have relapses every few years, some e...

Well I decided to add some things... I am doing well but still sometimes when I think about it it scares me. I am 31 and everyone around me is having babies, getting married etc. I think that is hard to find the right man...and with this diagnosis even harder. I watched a documentary about MS and th...

I have a story to share with you... just after I was diagnosed (two years) and of course thinking about MS all the time I woke up one morning and at the second I opened my eyes there was a flash of bright light (in the middle of winter). Through my mind went just one thought...no, not the eyes too! ...

Maybe my approach to telling could be helpful for someone so I am writing this here...I have told my friends (some of them only recently) and I think I found the right way to tell it. I am actually quite mad at the way that MS is presented in media especially movies - it's the end of the world, no w...

Maybe I put that badly, my point was exactly that...the things in our body are way more correlated than we think and if you have one thing "right" it doesn't mean that you are entirely healthy, maybe you have something else wrong that the scientists haven't made the connection yet.

When I was diagnosed I also told quite a lot of people and then a few days later one of this people told another person...that got me thinking and I came to conclusion that I have to be careful whom to tell because when I submit (any kind of information) to anybody they can do with that information ...

I am sure this must be hard for you but I think you must remember that the course of MS (and other autoimune diseases) is different in every patient as are the symptoms. That is exactly why I didn't want to go to MS society in my town, I just didn't want to see people with advanced MS because I know...
