Nice to meet you

Hi,
my name is Michela. I was diagnosed with RRMS in Sept 2021. It all started when my left eye being completely blurred. Initially I thought it was an ophthalmology issue which could have been possibly resolved by the eye specialist. Instead, it was more than that. After spending approx 10 days at the hospital, having a brain MRI, lumbar puncture and other neurological examinations, my neurologist informed me about myself having MS. I have recently had a new relapse which is affecting my walking, bladder, left side sensitivity. Has any of you had a similar situation? If so, how is your walking?

Michela, I am sorry that your MS has arrived with such a bang. It does sound as if your RRMS is pretty active, as mine has been since I was where you are many years ago. I hope that you are thinking through with your medical advisors what disease-modifying treatments are available to you to help keep you as well as you can be.

Hi Alison,

It was a bang for real!
I have been under Ocrelizumab since Dec 21. Few days ago I had an appointment with my neurologist and he said I need to keep taking this infusion. Anyway, I have another appointment next month. Of course, I’ll keep following my Dr’s advice :slight_smile:

Hi Michela, I’m from México, excuse me if my english is not perfect. But my experience was the same. In march of 2021, I lost totally of my vision with my left eye and I was at hospital for two weeks, first in eye clinical because i though it was an eye issue, next in a general hospital, tests showed that it also affected me in movement and hearing, the doctors of here says that I cannot be cured, and I really need supoort sometimes cause I cry all days thinking that I will never can make my life without living tied to the hospital… But I think that i don’t have a several problems cause I can walking normally but sometimes I’m feel some tired of my legs and swollen feets, but if I rest a bit everything improves.
