This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi. I was diagnosed 17 years ago. At the time I was in college, married, and had a 3 year old. Fast forward to 2001. I am now a college grad, divorced, and my daughter is 11. I met a man who thought MS made me part of Jerry's Kids! He doesn't know me without MS and yet he loves me. We dated for 9 y...

I wonder the same sometimes, I'm 23, diagnosed at 12. The dating thing has never been easy, especially middle school/high school when my health was not so great. I've been relapse-free for nearly three years, I healthy and happy! I don't anticipate another attack since I've been taking care of myse...

Hi, I am 20 years old and was diagnosed in August, I beat my first exacerbation and right now I am possibly slipping into a second but if things work out right with my second IV steroid treatment it won't turn into the exacerbation I had dealt with in the first place. Anyways, I wanted to send you a...

So I am curious, how many people out there have got into a relationship after their diagnosis that has been so far successful? I wonder because my first exacerbation was somewhat responsible for the ending of my last relationship and now I find myself wondering every now and then if I will ever meet...

OMG AWESOME!!!!

Dr. Giang, what insurance do you have? I have kaiser and they wouldnt refer me to Loma Linda even though the doctor already said he would take me, I am so mad! And copaxone really isnt that bad, here is my video on it lol:

So I looked up my RX number on my Kaiser page and it said: K-TABS TAB 10MEQ SA I don't know what MEQ is but tha...

So, random question. in the last few weeks I've been breaking out on my chest really bad, I've never had this problem before. I am currently on 70mg of Prednisone 1 K-Tab (Potassium I believe) Fluoxetine Clonazepam Copaxone and Omega 3 Fish Oil Would any of this cause me to break out? I'm 20 years o...

I just saw this--good idea! Thanks for sharing your blog! Thanks!

I like hat you can't remember exact dates, i think some folks have a date engraved in their memories...it's not a positive thing to dwell on me thinks. That has to be a record time for diagnosis though. what were your symtoms? Lol I can't remember because my short term memory is SHOT lol. Click thi...

And Tara, why liver and kidneys, the drugs we take?

My first exacerbation started August 1 of 2010 and I was diagnosed maybe three weeks after? I can't remember the exact date.

I dont think I have ever truly been in remission. I now know I have had this illness since birth but I have been at a point off and on where I did not notice it because I seemed to be locked into homeostasis. now in stasis all I get during relapses is that knife like pain on the bottoms of my feet....

yeah, I got you, so you dont really have an "official date for yourself Im guessing? lol. I know this is probably really dumb, Im doing better, im doing great and thats whats important but for the sake of me being who I am, I want to give myself a date lol...
