Is this my new normal?
My algorithm on my phone is all about MS!! I can’t tell what’s a good vitamin …. What’s a good thing to help my foot drop? I didn’t even know that MS had different kinds.

MS comes in a few flavours: 🔹 RRMS (Relapsing Remitting MS) The drunk bloke outside a kebab shop at 2am. Causes chaos, throws a few punches, falls over, disappears for a while, then randomly turns up again months later. 🔹 SPMS (Secondary Progressive MS) The same bloke but he's moved in next door. Less dramatic, but he's around more often and harder to ignore. 🔹 PPMS (Primary Progressive MS) Doesn't do surprise attacks. It just slowly steals your parking space an inch at a time every day. The first few months after diagnosis are wild 🤯. Your phone suddenly thinks your entire personality is MS. One search for "Vitamin D" and next thing you're being offered sea moss, turmeric, mushroom powder, goat yoga and a bloke in Colorado selling healing crystals 😂 Pacing was the biggest game changer for me. Before MS I was all gas, no brakes 🚗💨. Now I treat energy like battery life on an old phone 📱. If I've got 40%, I can't pretend I've got 100% and then wonder why I'm lying on the sofa buffering. Foot drop is definitely worth mentioning to your MS nurse or physio. They have exercises, braces and gadgets that can help. The good news? Right now you're drinking from a fire hose 🚒. In a few months you'll know more about MS than half the internet and be the one explaining it to the next person who gets diagnosed ❤️.
