Hello everyone
Hi MSers of the world. I just wanted to say hi, and that it is nice to know I am not alone in this silent, obscure, struggle... and neither are you.
Personally, my RRMS plays a daily role in making me feel constant fatigue, random memory blips, and a lot of joint pains.
But, I've learned that taking is slow, at your own pace, is ok.
I was tested for 2 full years of MRIs and event told at one point I did not have MS, before a 3rd specialist said I had it, 100%.
My question to you all is, how do you all deal with the daily ups and downs? Most days I am "ok", sometimes I feel the "tingles" all over my body, and 90% of the time my meds make me feel like I'm going through constant man-opause with heat flashes and lots of flushing (I'm taking Tecfidera).
How I cope with it is "laziness", and having a fan literally on my face most of the day, even though I know exercise is the best medicine for us. My body gets tired very fast doing anything.
I've realized that I'm way more forgiving about myself taking it slow, or not having a productive day since my diagnost. It's ok to do things slow and on your time, that's how I deal with it.
