Feeling down
I have MS for 28 years now. I’m SPMS in wheelchair it progressed to this stage quickly after my fiancé passed away suddenly. This condition is now really getting to me I just fell on the floor earlier today coming off couch from lying down. I live on my own. I have been taught of ways to get up and bought equipment for this. I eventually got up after 30 minutes. I just don’t have the strength anymore in my legs. It’s sooo depressing when changes happen and can’t do simple things anymore. It’s just getting to me a lot lately because also for the first time I had a date and got intimate I couldn’t even move my right leg, because my hip seized up and just couldn’t move just horrible. I have been advised to go back to doing physiotherapy toss week. I was doing it once a week but I just have to do it twice a week again.
I feel after all these years, still the changes in my body and the progression of the stupid disease still does get to me. I just bought a heap of MS shirts and clothing.
Feels good that I can let this all out to people that understand.
Hi ,- I hope you're OK now. Sorry to hear about what happened earlier. You're not alone. Even if you don't actually see and hear others on this site they are here. They listen to you and support you - snd for now they suffer this MS disease too. I hope you hear from them and feel their presence soon. I wish you well.
That sounds terrible that you fell, I know what u mean about not having the strength to get up. I really should prioritise the physio exercises but when I’m tired I just don’t feel like it and I can feel how much harder it has become. My mobility is poor now, it’s sad when I think of the past life I had and how it has changed in the past year. What did your date say? I don’t think u need to worry , if he likes you, he likes you! Xx
