Kim, I can identify with everything you said and you hit it all right on the head! I haven’t felt the urge to do anything below the waist, much less even fantasize about it. I feel like that part of my life is over and I don’t even see myself as a sexual human being any more. I guess I figured that it’s just another thing that this disease takes…

Hello, I am posting this question to you, the experts in MS, because I can’t find anything about this on the web. My bf has had RRMS for the last 15 years. Today, his neurologist said that if his next MRI doesnt have lesions, he can stop taking his meds no longer has MS. Is this possible?

I’ve found that “putting pen to paper” before people whom you know understand in their hearts what you feel and are going through helps to easy the lonliness and feelings of isolation. Please write what’s on your heart any time day or night. We’re here to listen and we understand.

Sometimes during periods of increased anxiety the emotional stress might make symptoms more intense which may be why you are feeling them more at this time. However, I can certainly assure you that what you are experiencing is not unusual. During periods of high anxiexty, everything seems to get worse for a lot of MS people. Here’s a couple of…

My husband has had two pumps and has never had any pain with either. What you describe sounds like the pump is implanted next to something that is triggering pain receptors. I have a granddaughter who has facial pain due to a nerve that runs next to a blood vessel that gets triggered when the blood vessel get enlarged from excitement. It causes…

Thank you for for the article! you are and have become my ‘support group’. I’m sorry if any of things I write or wrote offend you or anyone in anyway. But in my self made loner life I’m glad to have found this website I don’t have to try to be or become someone I’m not. This MS makes me a stranger to myself.
