Anyone in management?

I’ve just been offered a higher position. I’ve been working three years for this and am very excited, just nervous. Curious if anyone else is in management and balances both having MS and being in a higher position.

Anxiety

I’ve recently been diagnosed with ms in April of 2019. I just had my third infusion of Tysabri yesterday. My question is ever since the 2nd infusion I have been having some pretty bad anxiety attacks can it be from the Tysabri or just my nerves I’ve never had anxiety before. Otherwise I feel good until that attack happens. Then it gets crazy and dark. Thank you

Can mouth pain be related to MS? Any suggestions for relief?

I suffer severe pain in my mouth and on my tongue. Of course spicy foods and carbonated drinks cause me pain, but all foods (and even water) hurt. I have had difficulty swallowing and have lost most of my ability to smell, both apparently related to MS. I drink 80 to 110 ounces of water per day, and I practice good dental hygiene. I have tried prescription lozenges used to treat oral yeast infections but they don’t help. This problem began after I… read more

How did you all “come out” about your diagnosis?

Hi! I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago when i was 21. At the time, i really hid my diagnosis from most friends and family as i progressed through school and my career. Im in a place now where i want more support and i am also “owning” my diagnosis and am not ashamed to share it.
How did you all navigate sharing your diagnosis widely? I am thinking of doing a facebook post/email. Any positive or negative stories are welcome.

Lymphopenia persisting off tecfidera?

Hi all! I have been battling lymphopenia (low lymphocytes) for a while while on tecfidera. My doctor took me off completely earlier this year, with the goal of starting a new drug once my immune system bounces back. It has been a couple of months and my lymphocytes have not improved at all. Has anyone had experience with this? Is there anything we can take/do/eat to improve white blood cell numbers? Im worried about being off medication for so long. Thanks!
