Top threads this week

  1. How do you survive inside an MRI machine? šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

    I absolutely hate MRI scans. I have to go through one at least twice a year, and each scan usually takes around 90 minutes. They put this cage over my head, slide me inside the machine, and I'm...

  2. Did it lower your intelligence/ability to think?

  5. I’m 26 with MS and just got shingles.

  8. "Men become more disabled"

  9. Does anyone experience since being diagnosed, feeling overwhelmed by too much noises and things going on?
