Brainfog and Fatigue

This cannot be explained to anyone who doesn't have M.S. I wish to be having normal conversations about anything and not get tongue tied. Think before speaking and hope no one looks the other way. A big issue for me at the moment.

Happy for the first time in years

I've been feeling depressed more or less since 2018 sometime. Since 2021 I've been pretty much constantly depressed, trouble with a lot of things and in February 2022 I was diagnosed with MS after an attack. The constant depression together with what I now know is fatigue, brainfog have been heavy...

Diagnosis, relationship, break-up, rant, etc...

I recently went through a #breakup after a 3-year long #relationship. I think my diagnosis hit my partner really hard... harder than it hit me. She didn’t know how to deal with the sadness I was feeling for almost a year. She really wanted to help she really wanted to be there for me but didn’t know...

Its creeping up on me...

Ok, this is my first post. I did not even think I would ever post - as I always thought, its not really affecting me like it is everybody else. I am going to be just fine, as along as I don't think about it. I am just going to ignore it (I was diagnosed officially in November, but felt I knew since...
