Hello everyone. I am new to this message board. I was diagnosed at 23 with MS. A lovely birthday present for me.
I had a severe first attack that put me in a wheelchair within 2 weeks of onset. I was blinded for 6 months. I started on Avonex and had too many relapses. Then I was switched to Tysabri, which I love.
I have lost all of my friends since I was diagnosed. I have made new ones though. The friends I had before MS are not good enough for me. It is a good thing they are not my friends anymore. I don't need unsupportive people.
I have my ups and downs, but mostly I am happy and okay with my situation. My mother is very supportive.
Currently I am dealing with some family members discriminating me. Which I never thought would happen with family. This is the first time I have been discriminated against by family.
I am sure it will not be the last time. It sure does hurt though. I know I am stronger than all of them and I will move on. I did voice my option about how I feel about what they did, which I hope they realize how wrong they are.
But it is out of my hands and I cant change them or what they do. I have to worry about myself only because my health is top priority.
So to everyone, stay stronger, we can do this.

I'm sorry to hear what you have had to go through with former friends and family but as I've said - people who leave because of MS weren't really there to begin with anyway. I'm glad that you've made new friends

Hi, I was dxd 2008. I'm 28 now. It's been ruff never had remission. My neuro thinks I'm PPMS. I'm on no dmd just systematic drugs. I really want to find someone my age with possible PPMS. PPMS progress differently then RRMS. I don't experience the attacks and have no ative lesion on brain MRI, but have spinal lesion. Suffer from fatigue, weakness on the left side, pin and needle in toes and hand, foot spasm, leg spasm, arm and neck spasms, and MS hugs mainly on the left side. PM me or message me if u are experiencing the same things. Thanks
