This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thank you! I am glad these type of support exists online as it makes me and I’m sure everyone else feel less alone. I *think* I have a pretty healthy diet, in the last year and a half I lost 40 lbs by eating more veggies and fruits and cutting down a lot of starches and sugar but I have gone a bit o...

Thank you all of you! I appreaciate everyone’s advice and while I know what works for some won’t work for others it’s good to learn a little about what each of you is doing for yourself. I guess this is a discovery journey for each of us. I’ve been reading a lot about medication and it’s overwhelmin...

Hi everyone, It seems like im in high alert for any new symptoms or changes in my body while I await my mri results that Im panicking over everything I think could be an MS symptoms. For those who have had Optic Neuritis, is a slightly swollen upper eyelid (not right by the lashes but more below the...

hi and welcome lizzy - you are by no means alone :) i'm not a pro by any means but i suspect if lesions showed up you'd know about them, regardless of mri findings. if they didn't see anything that suggested adding a cranial mri that could be viewed as good news. in the meantime there are lots of t...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here, thanks everyone for sharing your stories. I've been reading the forums and it helps to know I am not alone. I'm 31F but for the last 3 years I've been experiencing what I think are MS symptoms. back at the end of 2015 I started having this odd feeling of dizziness sort of ...
