Hello😊I have RRMS and was diagnosed in 2012 (like many others, I probably had it much longer) I have lived the majority of my life in two areas of the US which have known MS clusters.

My amazing husband served in the Army for over 22 years. I have 4 beautiful children ranging in age from 28 to 4 years old😁

Welcome aboard, Emerald. It’s always good to have more voices sharing their experiences!

I also have RRMS, diagnosed in 2016. Am currently on Rebif though that may change as I had a relapse a few months ago.

Thank you for the welcome. I am on Avonex and will be going in for 5 days of IVIG treatment soon.

I’m not familiar with IVIG. What does that do?

in reply toLilith08

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment works on your immune system. Several years ago I had a very bad relapse which landed me in the hospital for SOLU-MEDROL® and IVIG. It is supposed to reduce the frequency of relapses.

Unfortunately it is expensive and not all insurance will cover it. I’m blessed that mine does.
