MS

Hi: My name is Sandra, I've been dealing with MS since 1997. In the beginning MS took me off my feet. But God gave me the strength to get back on them. I'm not going to let MS get me down. I got so I have pain in my right shoulder and down my right side from my hip joint down my leg. I'm 65 I'm wondering if I get on something now will it help.

  1. Hi, ! So glad to have you here. Dealing with MS is not easy task at all. And trying to find what works to help you cope with it can take quite some time. I want to share with you an article that talks about some options in which you can help manage dealing with the symptoms you speak of. You can access the article here- https://multiplesclerosis.net/treatment/managing-symptoms. I don't think there is ever a bad time to try something that is possibly going to help you. But please do discuss these things with your doctor before starting any medication. I hope you find something that brings you much relief. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. Kindly, Latoya (Team Member)

    1. thanks for sharing your update here. I really admire your faith and resilience when looking at your diagnosis. I know my faith has helped me tremendously through my own diagnosis.


      Have you had an opportunity to talk with your neurologist or MS specialist lately about the best treatment options? I do often ask my doctor at each check up about how age affects our treatment decisions. New research is always coming out, so it's helpful to know that latest recommendations.
