Hello everyone!
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 16. I didn't think much of it at the time because I was too young and didn't understand what it meant. My doctor prescribed me Texfidera tablets for treatment. Then I entered high school, and other than frequent flare-ups, I didn't see any problems with my condition (when I have flare-ups, it becomes difficult to walk and my right hand starts to go numb). Then, when I graduated from high school, I had another flare-up, and my doctor prescribed me a new medication called Kesimpta. This medication helped me so much that for a year, I even forgot I had been diagnosed. Now I'm 21, studying at university and working in a hardware store. Recently, I had another flare-up, and for some reason, my hand lost feeling and refuses to recover. This makes me very upset, and it plunges me into a very deep depression.
And I have a question for you - how do you cope with the fact that a certain part of your body is numb or has poor sensation? Are you taking any medication, and if so, does it have any ongoing side effects?
Thank you for your attention and if you also have some questions feel free to ask!
