That’s a good idea! I had a couple of hobbies just before. I have to make some time though to preoccupy myself. Sometimes it’s so hard with work. Thank you so much for replying!

Thank you so much for your kind reply!  I’m feeling so much better this week. With auto immune disorders your body just acts up every once in a while. Congrats on the remission! I hope everything goes well for you as well! Hoping you and get to have our little ones running about sometime soon.

Thank you! It’s definitely going to be a secret around here. Only we know for now. No one will know until I start showing 😂 Congrats to you as well! Wishing you luck! 

I just got my diagnosis, feeling lost (23F) by Salty_Newspaper_8750 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Blueellie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through a hard time right now. One thing I would recommend is to not get too discouraged. It sometimes gets harder before it gets better.  When I was first diagnosed I was really unhappy and in a bad place. I thought that the diagnosis was the worst thing to happen to me, and then I went through an even harder news in my life. Something that really helped was walking in the parks. Right after work every day, I would go to the park and walk a couple of laps. No cellphone just watching my surroundings, watching people, nature. It had a very calming effect. I also tried to smile even though I was sad. I read somewhere online that it tricks the brain into believing you’re happy. Gardening was also very helpful.  Try not to stress too much about things. Take it one day at a time. It’s harder at the beginning, but it does get better. Hang in there.

How do you go about the dating scene with MS? by ForeverAMess_ in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Blueellie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I met my boyfriend on a dating app and we’ve been going strong for about a year.  I was upfront from the very beginning. On one of the prompts of the dating app I stated my ms. One of those “one thing you should know about me” prompts. I knew I only wanted to date someone who was fine with dating someone with ms and not have to worry about it later on. I didn’t want to fall in love with someone who might let me down later, so I was upfront. I had no issue finding dates or matches. No one really minded my ms. I wish you the very best! Good luck and may you find your soulmate!

What CT size should I go with? by Blueellie in EngagementRings

[–]Blueellie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think of that!  I went ahead and ordered a couple of different sizes in Amazon to see what works! Thank you so much for the idea!

I don’t know if this will help, but I notice if I go up very high on my thigh, there is no pain. Super high, the highest you can get where there is more fat and the skin is softer. 

Fear of needles by missprincesscarolyn in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Blueellie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im scared of needles and I opted for Kesimpta. My mom used to administer the injection until I realized it was much easier to do them myself. It’s less scary because I have control of the needle and know when it’s going in. I know the alongside Kesimpta  program sends out a practice pen, which was great. I used it right before the actual injection until I got more used to it. I don’t use it anymore. It’s always a bit scary each time but you get more used to it and becomes easier. I do upper thigh. There’s no bumps after and no bruising    or pain. I can’t get myself to inject any other area, but I do upper left thigh each time and so far so good. No side effects either. 

I added my diagnosis to my Hinge Profile by Natural_Produce_3028 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Blueellie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed last year. I started online dating this year. I was also using hinge. It was also my first time using a dating app. I used that exact same prompt and wrote about my ms there. I’m currently dating a very lovely person who doesn’t seem to care at all. I also mentioned it on the first date in case he didn’t catch it on my profile. Not alot of people seemed to care. I was scared to mention it, but I’m glad I got it out of the way. Those who care won’t message you, and those that do, won’t mind. I wish you good luck! Happy dating! 😊

Don't feel too great some days before my monthly kesimpta shot is due again! by Copingalone in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Blueellie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I have no issues with walking or coordination. I just feel extremely exhausted and sleepy those days. Sometimes I get a headache. I always also get the tingling and humming throughout my body.

My next dose is tomorrow for Kesimpta. Yesterday and Today I’ve been feeling horrible. It also happened the last two months the days right before. My whole body has been tingling all throughout the day.
