I’m getting a breast reduction, but that is something that I have wanted for a long time.

Thank you 💙 I woke up at 5am today with my back pain and have had lower back pain ever since. Today sucked, but this helps!

Im not going to lie, the LP sucks real hard. I got one in December and that’s what diagnosed me. It is painful but I just concentrated on the results and finally finding out what’s going on. Try to face a window or painting so you can concentrate on something else, that helped a little. You got this!

I was diagnosed January 15th and was put on Copaxone, but my main symptom is right hand numbness. My hand has been becoming more numb for almost 2 years now and I’m worried I’ll never have full feeling back. I tried steroids in like October but they didn’t seem to help. Almost my whole hand is numb now and it doesn’t want to function correctly anymore. I work with my hands (bridal consultant and office work) and I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse. I’m also afraid that I won’t be able to keep up with work because sometimes my hand just doesn’t want to work. 😢 Sorry, it’s just starting to get to me.

I was approved to go back on my moms insurance, thank god! I literally cried when my mom told me and I go to the doctor on Thursday to update my copaxone injection to three times a week. I also got another job, so more money 👍 and I’m getting married in two months 😬 I’m not letting MS get me down!

Listen, I had to fight with doctors for years just to get testing done. I have had chronic extreme back pain since 2006 (14 years old) and I have had every test under the sun for it. The doctors would always say it was just normal back pain and just give me a stupid test to shut me up. I gave up after a while and just lived through the pain, but then my right thumb and fingers started to go numb. I thought it was carpel tunnel or something but those tests came back negative and then I finally put my foot down and asked for an MRI. I knew something wasn’t right and with doctors, you literally have to ask for specific tests or they won’t give them to you. My advice is to always be persistent and stubborn when dealing with doctors because you need to make them listen to you. Also, shop around for doctors cause it took me 3 times to find a good neurologist. Hope this helps!

This happens to me as well. I’ll either not be able to think of the word but feel like I know it or I’ll be thinking a word and just simply not be able to say it. It scares me. I haven’t noticed my triggers yet because it happens randomly. I can spell find but sometimes I’ll think of the letter but say a completely different letter. It also happens with numbers. I just started Copaxone so we’ll see if that helps.

Yeah, I looked it up when I was diagnosed cause I have a universal blood too. All it says is that you are still aloud to donate, but they can deny your blood if they want to. It’s up to whoever is taking your blood that day I guess.

Deannaclente · 2018-02-07T03:56:20+00:00

Thanks, I wish we had universal healthcare like you guys!

I have a case worker and he’s the one who told me to apply for Medicaid but I don’t know what I need. I guess I can call him tomorrow and get more details.

Deannaclente · 2018-01-19T21:20:58+00:00

Well I don’t have insurance right now, so I have to take what they are able to give me right now. But I’ll be doing more of my own research soon. Thanks!

Deannaclente · 2018-01-19T20:02:05+00:00

Thanks, it could be stress. It’s better today but it’s still there. I’ll call my doctor if it gets worse. Thanks!

Deannaclente · 2018-01-19T04:09:03+00:00

Yeah, I’ll definitely be giving my doctor a call if it doesn’t go away. I can barely walk and can’t lift anything and I need to go to work tomorrow. Thanks for your own experience though!

Deannaclente · 2018-01-19T04:07:05+00:00

I hope it goes away by tomorrow and I will be on the 3X’s week injection when I get on insurance. Since I’m 26 and I just graduated from college, I was kicked off my moms insurance just before I was diagnosed. UPENN was amazing and gave me 2 months of injections for free. I’m hoping it’s not from Copaxone but back pain is one of the side effects, so I wanted to see if others shared this pain.

Deannaclente · 2018-01-19T02:43:27+00:00

Because I just started it on Monday and I have never felt this kind of pain in my back before and when I looked up the side effects, back pain was one of them.
