hi all!

I have just been diagnosed in the last few days. I'm currently working in KSA as a dive professional although the rest of my job is data analysis....I've lived a super active life running half marathons, surfing and diving ..although I know now with intermittent relapses.

I know and fully accept this may change my trajectory and career and expect I won't be able to dive now for a year if clear of relapses. I just wanted to know if there's any other MSers out there who are dive professionals (I'm sure there is!!!) and what advice/words of encouragement you could give me?

Hi everyone! I just got diagnosed 34 year old female and currently on high dose IV steroids for five days before discussions and tests for DMTs starts...I hope I can get on Kesimpta heard great things.

Im just battling a bit with the grief of having been having relapses now for 4-5 years and everyone I went to optician, GP and even ER over those years and even talking to friends and family I always got told it was stress or even due to sleeping on the wrong side of my face too long and sent home. Thankfully I'm now an expat in KSA with full health insurance and withinn 5 minutes of seeing an eye doctor due to my Diplopia which I've gone to GPs in the UK for before he told me right then and there it was more than likely a demyelinating disease then sent me straight to neurologist and had a 2 hour MRI to show multiple lesions on brain on spine occurring over space and time....it's super sad to think that if I'd been listened to I could have started to get treatment years ago and also that I just started gaslighting myself that all my symptoms were because I can't manage stress like normal people.

I'm just hoping I'm praying it's not too late to get on Kesimpta and after steroids my sight returns to baseline...has anyone else experienced these emotions and grief? otherwise I'm just super grateful I'm getting proper healthcare and just remaining positive and focussed now and being proactive!
