Hello fellow MSers Nice to meet you all. Newbie MSer here. I am usually nervous when joining group but I came across Shift MS by chance and appreciate I found a place where others have questions and worries that I also share. It's refreshing since those around me sympathise but don't understand. My MS journey has been relatively smooth so far especially considering the delays and pressures during the pandemic. I was a student at the time and put my blurry vision, vertigo, eye pain and headaches down to remote learning online and muscle tightness and overall tiredness from clinical training. Only when I was experiencing progressive muscle weakness did I approach my GP. I subsequently ended up in A&E as I loss my vision one eye and then the mobility in my legs during my admission.I had MRI and lumbar punture and given prednisolone. Once offically diagnosed, started my DMT a few months later and able to complete my studies and it hasn't affected my ability to work. I am less active now due to fatigue but still able to enjoy backpacking adventures when I can however, the hardest thing for me is the emotional and psychological aspects of dealing with MS. My mood changes come out of nowhere. Hoping I'm not going mad?!?! I am embracing my new self even when I feel frustrated. I don't get overly embarrassed if I cry, nor kick myself down if I don't follow a healthy diet every day or kick myself for having a cheeky cigarette or haven't done my house chores. Yet, do struggle finding a way to balance life, work and play. Have others found having have a more structured routine better to managing symptoms? Any advice, insights or even a hello is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
