Please do not let the attitude of one bigot reflect on your opinion of the rest of us .I have reported this to Web MD and hopefully the will take it down soon.
To Anon-1066 the purpose of this support group is to help people and there families who have MS there is no use for your bigotry in doing this . If you are unwilling to help then please do not say anything.
My name is Rory and I do not hide behind the Anon featureView Thread

Cann't help you out here as the probably have different user names than the used here . I guess if you were to read c
some older posts here two years plus (try where are you from or lies) maybe you could search some of those user names.

there are alot of former contributers that left this site who have a facebook page.

I have been on Avonex since my diagnosis eleven years ago and have never had your sort of problem with it.
Have you had your Avonex anti-bodies checked lately it is possible that your body is processing the Avonex wrong. I presume that blood liver work is done every three months and normal , if it is not then you should change treatments anyway.
Have the done MRI's to see if there is progress in the MS liasion load as it is possible that the MS is causing all this, again if this is the case you need to change.
Personally I would consider changing no matter what . There are many other options so why suffer if it is avoidable.
Hope this helps

MS fatigue is only one of the many ways that MS can effect our sex drive. Some feel that the if the allow them selfs to be intimate it may lead to rejection due to their condition , the fact that the know their partner loves them is not enough to over rule this fear.
If you look under popular dissussions on the right hand side of this page you will find a previous chat we had on this subject. A lot of the people have since left the board but the advice is still good and should give you some place to start.

While quite a lot of what you discribe could be loss of cognitive function due to MS , there is many other possible reasons for these symptoms.
I would suggest you try to look up your neuro and see if he/she has expierence with MS. It is very hard to make a positive diagnosis so the they expierence of the neuro really is important.
For now keep your appointment. You should make a list of all your symptoms and any thing that you noticed that makes them worse , also how long the last.
Your neuro should order further testing one will be a MRI with contrast and an MRI of the cervical spine. Two others could be a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) and evoked potential test to check nerve speed.
Let us know how it goes Tues and we try to help more if you are still looking at a possible diagnosis.

While people with MS can expierence falls I wouldn't start there in your case. Let your doctor know sooner rather than later and get a total review of current known conditions and meds you take for them .
If that does not reveal a likely cause then you and he/she should try to figure what specialist you need to see.

While a set of MRI's will likely do no harm it is possible you are expierencing these new symptoms because of an infection in your wrist or quiet possibly the stress related to your injury.
If the does not settle down on their own then an MRI would be a good idea just to make sure nothing new is going on

My first instinct is to tell you to stick with the betasoren and I would question any doctor that says MS does not effect a specific age group.
You should but this up as a new disscussion on thurs as Dr. Lave usually checks us out on fridays and put his name in the subject line.
