I was diagnosed with RRMS in March 2022, after having Covid-19, 6 times in 8 months. Since diagnosis, things are progressively getting worse, such as my cognitive function, speech, tiredness, and pain. My memory is terrible now to the point where I am repeating my sentences over and over again, and ...

Marriage / relationships and MS

Hi there! Is anyone else struggling with your relationships after the diagnosis? I personally feel that Ms changed me a lot and my wife seems to miss the person I was… and that I will never be again. Also, sometimes I feel “flat” like my emotions are not fully out, I think Ms changed that too. Very...

Anyone struggling with keeping a relationship ? Every guy I talk to ends up leaving after realising how much of a responsibility I am during my bad days :/

Change in relationships

Ever since diagnosis I have found that my nearest and dearest try to take advantage of my difficulties. My husband tries to take advantage of my poor memory. I had a massive argument with my mother, and I have argued with a friend for my husbands sake. I feel like I don’t want to suffer fools gladly...
