    Hey all,
    My name is Crystal. I was diagnosed with MS in 2007. I'm a very optimistic person and try to not let this disease get the best of me I first noticed something was wrong when the vision in my right eye changed dramatically. After many doctors appointments and getting poked and prodded I was finally told I had MS. I knew nothing about the disease and was pretty freaked out, luckily I had an amazing neurologist who was very optimistic and explained pretty much everything to me.

    Since 2007 I have been on Avonex and am currently on Rebif. At my last doctors appointment I talked to my neurologist about switching to Tecfidera. I'm a little nervous about the switch but it is becoming so difficult to do the injections. I am lucky in that I have an amazing husband who helps me with the shots when I'm having trouble.

    I haven't had a flare-up in a few years. I mostly just notice the fatigue I've been having lately. At 30 years old I shouldn't be ready for bed at 4pm

    I've never been on one of these forums so I thought I would give it a chance. When I was first diagnosed I was trying to go solo but the longer I have MS the more I realize that I need support, especially from people who are going through the same thing as me.

    I look forward to getting to know a lot of you
