@I’m experiencing neuropathic nerve pain in my legs and feet 😔 Its so mentally draining I’m finding it hard to cope with because I got to stay active to keep my mind sane and because I can’t do that right now I’m not coping at all. I’m having bad thoughts and I don’t normally get this low or depressed. How do you all manage this? on Shift.ms

Having dealt with MS officially for over 25 years I have just found a way to roll with the punches. Yeah I have had, and sometimes still do, suicidal thoughts but I take pride in punching, metaphorically, those thoughts right in the nads, though it can be strenuous at times I know.

Stay stubborn. Keep pushing forward, even when it hurts. Everything ebbs, and flows, but you can’t let your muscles seize up, or freeze up. Keep stretching, keep moving.
