Nice to meet you, I am new here and would like to say hello! I was diagnosed with MS last month. My flare ups consists of body numbness that slowly progresses until it decides to stop. I am still trying to learn the triggers for my flare ups. I worry about my future because I am going to school to become a dental assistant and hopefully a future dental hygienist. I worry that my hands are going to fail me more down the road since I’m only 19 right now. Very scary stuff

I have been on Copaxone for 8 years! No problems except a little numbness.

We are all kind of in the same place in our journey. This whole year has been one giant roller coaster! Last year I wasn't taking any medication, and now I have 7. I know what it's like to be scared. I have a lot of bad days, but I look forward to and savor the good days I have. The best advice I have so far is keep moving, take your meds, and don't give up! You are not alone!
@jdog54321 this is wonderful advice and I thank you for sharing it. I absolutely will continue with my medication and keep pushing forward. We all got this! Thank you again. :)

All of this is very scary and you think you life is done but I went through the same thing and it’s not what you think. I was (past tense) in a wheel chair and now I am looking for a job and all kinds of amazing things. You’ll find out that like certain temps and my ADD makes life alittle harder but that what my meds are for I don’t really have tremors anymore because of my treatment ( Retoxin) and most of all my gabapetin ( which specifically for my tremor’s)is what helped me . I’m so sorry honey for how this is infecting you but you are young and have all the time to glow up .
@Arline thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I am very glad to hear that you are no longer in a wheelchair and now looking for a job. This brings hope to other and to your wonderful being. This made me feel better and I thank you for sharing 💜
@Sarahg7 OH THANKYOU if you need to reach out to me for future support or support period I would be glad to do so.I have seen all of it and would be happy to help you .
