Hello! Forum newbie here. Since this forum seems to be quite global, I was wondering how many of us out there have both AS and MS?

I’m struggling to work at all and not sure what’s wrong with me I just feel in a daze. I could go to sleep i’m t...

This is my first time posting on here and I'm feeling quite depressed and scared about talking about it. I am 25, have been diagnosed with MS as of the 25th of March.
