Shift.ms is better if you're logged in

Hello everyone, Diagnosed in 2009. I have a large family, I just celebrated my 20th year anniversary with my husband. We have 6 kids, I work full time and. I also do a lot of volunteer work. I know that everyone has a story and everyone is in a different place. I am working hard to stay strong and active for my family and myself. I enjoy walking with my dogs and, spending time with my family. I do have the fatigue, muscle spasms, and brain fog that comes with MS. Some days are just hard. And some times I don't feel like getting out of bed. I have had meningitis twice now in the padt two years. And my brain is having a hard time recovering. I was in the hospital for over a week both times. The challenge was to figure out what was the meningitis and what was my MS. The symptoms are very similar. I would like to hear from you all, what have you come across, with symptoms similar to your MS? And how did you know iw the difference?
