This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

In case anyone is still wondering I saw my doctor and she suggested that it was an allergic reaction due to the band-aids I was using. So I stopped using them and in the past 3 injections I didnt get any reactions! not even red puffy skin.

Also, no I never used 20mg.
Thank you everyone

I am at the right depth. If I go any deeper it is too painful and anything else would be too shallow. As I said I did call shared solutions but they didnt help. The nurses there never really use the medication so they dont know as much as patients that have which is why I asked here.

Hello everyone, So recently (about a month ago) I started using copaxone 40mg. It has been going ok I guess. I get soreness but I sleep it off most of the time.

Hello, So long story short I was diagnosed with optic neuritis in April and my "possible MS" diagnosis process started. I already had an MRI in June and was told there are a few spots in my brain but it is not definitive yet that they are due to MS since I've only had one noticeable sympto...

Your post made me feel a lot better about my situation. Knowing that someone my age is going through the same thing and is doing well is very comforting. I guess my family friend is trying to sugar coat the situation for my family. My family is supportive but they don't understand how serious it is....

Hello, I've had a few blood tests before my diagnosis but I'm not sure what the actual levels were since I didn't think I would actually end up having ms.

I was newly diagnosed with ms at the age of 23 after losing most of my vision in my right eye. The diagnosis didnt come as a total surprise to me because the first doctor I saw for my eye said it could be ms. However, now I'm at a situation where my parents and family dont think its as serious of an...
