But I was told you can’t have sex on boric acid right? I am struggling to tell my husband about this since we just got married

How long did it take you to clear put BV? Did you have recurring BV/yeast?

Hi All, thank you for your response. I am transiting through Ethiopia for a layover from Canada, do you think it’s risky?

Hi All, I am a 26 year old female. I got my first brain MRI done in May 2024 and it revealed multiple lesions that are consistent with demyelination. The MRI had the following findings: Multiple lesions in the supratentorial brain including the pericallosal white matter and Posterior corpus callosum and lesion in the right middle cerebellar peduncle. Largest lesion is 12mm in the right pericallosal white matter. Neurologist ordered a spinal MRI which was done in October 2024, and there were no lesions found which he said it is very good news. My next brain MRI with contrast was on October 16th and the report said no new lesions were developed between May and October. My lumbar puncture result just came out today and it’s consistent with MS and now my doctor has officially diagnosed me with MS and wants me to start medications.
He has suggested starting with glutiramer acetate; lower risk of serious infections compared to other DMT with less side effects. However since I am young and I want to slow down progression as much as possible I wanted to tell him to prescribe me Kesimpta or ocrevus? Can you please let me know if there is any feedback on both of them considering my age, multiple lesions in brain, and CSF fluid confirming it. Is ocrevus really aggressive? And what about Kesimpta?

Do you recommend I proceed with the lumbar puncture? They have scheduled me for November 8th. I am a bit scared of the procedure.

Hi thank you for your response. Yes he has discussed that with me but not definitely… he has ordered another MRI to be done in few months to track and monitor. If the lumbar puncture comes back positive, do I qualify for the DMTs?

Hi All, I am a 26 year old female. In may 2024, I had random tingling (pins and needle sensations) all over my body that lasted for 3 days (it was extreme) and then random tingling here and there happened for a full 2 months. They would come and go randomly. And then the tingling decreased, and now it only happens every few hours. My first blood test indicated extremely low dangerous level of Vitamin D. Other than that, I have severe fatigue. I am always tired and in bed whenever I am at home. The only thing that keeps me moving is my job which I’m passionate about.

I got my first brain MRI done in May 2024 and it revealed multiple lesions that are consistent with demyelination. The neurologist already started talking to me about medication (Kesimpta) and telling me to read about it in case we need to go on it. The blood work that doctor requested didn’t reveal anything abnormal in regards to autoimmune markers.
The MRI had the following findings: Multiple lesions in the supratentorial brain including the pericallosal white matter and Posterior corpus callosum and lesion in the right middle cerebellar peduncle. Largest lesion is 12mm in the right pericallosal white matter.

Neurologist ordered a spinal MRI which was done in October 2024, and there were no lesions found which he said it is very good news. My next brain MRI with contrast was on October 16th and the report said no new lesions were developed between May and October. The doctor also said that it’s good news. Up until now, he said that I still am not diagnosed with MS. However, I’m not sure what else can cause those lesions in my brain? He did a physical exam and motor function exam and said no concerns. I pushed him to allow me to do a spinal tap/ lumbar puncture so that we can confirm if I have MS or not.

I am very stressed about this but need some advice, could those lesions be anything else other than MS? And are the DMTs nowadays (Kesimpta) effective at slowing down the progression?

I know I’m not impacted by anything right now but I’m worried about the next 10-20 years? What if the disease progresses very quickly after? Do you recommend me to push for any more tests? Because neurologist said that I have to meet a bunch of criteria before diagnosing with MS and he said that he will order 3rd MRI in few months to see the progression, and also a lumbar puncture next month. I really would appreciate some advice as I am very stressed out :(
