Hello i am Callie and 37 and was diagnosed with rr ms about 2 months ago. but have been having tests and problems for about 4 years now. When they actually diagnosed me 2 months ago i was kind of relieved that they finally figured it all out. I am now on 150 mg of Lyrica & 20 mg of Baclofen a day and i am having a hard time. I am not sure if it is the medicine or just the everyday joys of ms. But i am so sleepy all day and exhausted, my balance is off and the nerve/muscle twinges don't seem to be going away. Is anyone else having these problems on this medicine.

I am so happy to have found this site because this has all been a little overwhelming and my family is far away and my in-law's have NOT been supportive at all. It will nice to talk to people going through the same things.

Welcome Calligirl!

I'm so glad you found us! This is the best forum of it's kind, you'll see. There are lots of us who have been through this all and we can listen and offer support.

I'm sorry for the diagnosis but hope we can help make it somewhat easier to deal with for you with our friendship.

Welcome to the community, Callie. It's pretty overwhelming at first, for sure, and sometimes that pops up once in a while even as time goes by.

It's so hard to separate MS symptoms from med side effects, and sometimes they overlap. You'll find people here who will know EXACTLY what you're talking about. You came to a good place, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from AND about you!

does anyone know how to update your profile picture and mood and all that stuff. when i click on my name it just gives me options for my biography.

For the mood thingey, you click at the top of the page where you sign in. The mood command is up there.

The profile picture and avatar, etc are under User CP... which is on the bar that crosses the top, the User CP is the first choice on the left, along with others FAQ, Member's list, etc.

There are size limits for avatar and profile picture.
