This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Actually I spoke to the appointment taker and then I spoke to the Patient Care Line, which is suppose to be there in cases of urgent problems. I have never had success with the Patient Care Line, because they always want me to go to the ER. The ER, for the most part, is not equipped to deal with MS...

If you call your Neurologist office and say you are having leg pains and one leg keeps giving out, how long do you have to wait for an appointment. I ask because Michelle, the neurologist I was seeing, recently moved to Tennessee and my care has been moved to another doctor in the practice. I calle...

My body does not react well to medications. I have filed so many FDA reports, I can't keep track any more. I did not report Biogen or FDA, if you provide me with the contact information I will do so.

Well I had my follow up today. The doctor is concerned. She said my blood work came back and my white blood count is at 5, which is within normal range except for the fact that I had walking pneumonia when the test was run and my white blood count should have been through the roof.

I was off it for 2 weeks and now I have restarted it on a lower dose schedule. I just started my third week an...

I posted earlier about my terrible experience with Tecfidera and I saw the Neurologist yesterday and they feel it is worth giving it another try. It is believe that the symptoms I experience last Saturday where my bodies reaction to the removing the Tecfidera and I am doing IV steroids to balance ev...

No not a stroke as a general rule this is how the ms presents itself.

I was so sure, this was going to be the drug that I didn't react too. I was so hopeful. I'm tired of feeling bad. As I'm sure is the case with everyone on this board, I am a fighter and I push until I can't push any further but I am tired of pushing.

I am new to this board so I would like to start out by saying I have never been able to take maintenance drug for MS because of the sever reaction that my body has to the drugs. I watched Tecfidera through the FDA and watch in amazement when the only major side effect reported were flushing and food...
