This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I’m trying to decide if I should tell my boss about this. I would love a set schedule because some of the long hours I work sometimes are exhausting. The problem is I’ve done it happily for 3 years, and it will look strange if I suddenly want to stop. I would like to think she’s a better person than...

I’m trying really hard to be positive, but I have a very bad habit of using “dr google” and that ends up terrifying me. I’m gonna google that tonight after I leave the gym and work. My biggest problem is since no one can tell me what’s going to happen in X amount of time I’m struggling with if I sho...

I’m taking vitamin d, b12, magnesium, c , and a multi vitamin. I’ve cut out as much fat in my food as I. Can, and I try to work out at least an hour a day. I do take the day off if I work a double shift. I don’t want to over do it. I’m just worried that despite doing everything I can to be healthy I...

Thank you. Question does it need to be exactly 48 hours apart or Is there a little room to adjust times if needed?

I’ve been following the diet recommendations that I’ll find online. I’ll look into that book because I need something to give me hope. Right now everything seems pointless.

I’m about to start this medication this week. I’m kinda terrified of side effects and it making me feel so bad that I’m unable to work. I’ve heard this medication had the least side effects but I’ve also seen some bad things about it. For people on this medication did it disrupt your daily life at a...

I don’t have the luxury to feel like I have the flu or any other bad side effect. That’s why I’m taking 2 weeks off so I’ll have an idea if I can take the drug and function at work. Lots of people have ms and don’t take medication. I can’t afford to lose my job so I need to have mild side effects. L...

The antidepressants were to try to help me not feel like my life is over. It made it worse. I’m starting my ms meds this week. Thankfully I’ve got enough vacation time build up that I’m taking 2 weeks off to make sure I’m handling the meds. I’m not going to risk making a mistake at work since that w...

I’m wishing I had a ignore button for me. It’s on my mind every second of every day. Even when I’m doing something else it’s there in the back of my mind trying to remind me that it’s sitting there just waiting to flare up again. My life is pretty much the same as before this thing but now I’ve had ...

I’m at the gym and I can’t remember the name. It was an anti depressant. I just can’t feel worse than I’m already feeling for 4 weeks. (If that’s how long it really takes to work). I’ll look when I’m at home. My regular pcp changed my dose of my anxiety medication and that’s helping a very small amo...

I’m working out every day, eating healthy, sleeping , taking all the recommendations vitamins, and I’m starting medication this week. My experience with the mental health was a disgrace. Druggimg me so I’m feeling so comatose it was a struggle to even take my dogs out to pee isn’t my idea of help. T...

How do you ignore ms? It’s on my mind 24/7. It’s even in my dreams. The person who I’d been referred to Gave me anti depressants and it made me feel 10 times worse. All I did was sleep for 2 days. I had no interest in food or moving. It made me feel worse than i already did. How can your life be bet...

Every day I’m living in constant fear of a relapse. I’m not leaving my house except for Work and I’ve stopped talking to everyone. My life is Work, gym at my apartment for 30 minutes and then sleep. How do you live without the fear of a relapse? I’d like my “life” back but I don’t see how it will ev...

I’m not sure why it was locked either. You are correct thought that I am beyond depressed and devastated that all I had planned for my life will never happen. I’m supposed to start Copaxone soon. I’m stressed about how much insurance will cover because these drugs are very expensive. I know I’m “luc...

If my performance endangers a patient they have a right to fire me. I feel like my every move will be watched much closer. As for the drugs they all have at least one nasty side effect and having to take off work for infusions would be hard to explain
