This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I have been on copaxone for close to 5 years, no relapse...knock on wood. I felt very empowered (still do) when I take my shot and am so thankful that there is something for me to take unlike many other diseases. I live as much as I can in the present and try not to think of the future too much as i...

I get them all over, they usually last a couple of seconds. I too can go months without them. I have found stress and lack of sleep a major factor in getting them. My mom died of ALS and as far as I know did not suffer from twitches. I have MS and do, but then I have friends who have no issues and a...

New here, though not really, I've been reading for years. I am a 43 year old wife and mom of 2, diagnosed in '04 with benign RRMS. My first symptom however was in 1988 with numbness that lasted about 4 months, saw a neuro at that time but was never diagnosed. More of a wait and see. Fast forward 16 ...

This is my first post, though I have been reading for years. I have had ms for 20 years, diagnosed in 2004 with benign RRMS. No one knows except my husband and my Mom (who passed away in 2006.) I will keep this to myself for as long as I can because once you tell someone you can never take it back. ...
