@I'm new here, trying to start making those connections with MSers so I can get ahead of having an idea what this whole MS thing is about and how I can of course deal with, the changes, adjustments, treatment etc. My grandmother had MS before she passed and seeing myself today, I kind of think I just might have MS, not completely sure yet because what I think might be the symptoms could just be something normal I'm dealing with at the time, it goes away and sometimes I get to feel those twitches, fatigue, brain fog and sleepless nights a few times. Open to learning about people who have been on this journey and how their everyday living is handled it…. Look forward to meeting great minds and kind people on Shift.ms

Very smart getting a heads-up early on and looking into it now. One thing I'd say is that 1960s MS, 1990s MS, and 2026 MS are three very different beasts. I've had RRMS for 81 months now. I work full-time as a software engineer, have a mortgage, three kids, and still train in the gym. Life isn't always easy, but it's definitely still life. Get the checks and investigations done first and see what the doctors say. If it does turn out to be MS, I'd personally be pushing for a high-efficacy treatment from the start, such as Ocrevus, Kesimpta, Tysabri, or one of the other modern options. There are horror stories out there, don't get me wrong, but people rarely post when they're busy living their lives. The reality in 2026 is that many people with MS are working, raising families, travelling, gaming, exercising, and getting on with things. Try not to write tomorrow's disaster story before you've even had today's test results. One step at a time. 👍 St1gzy 😎
