I’m so frustrated. I feel like I go on apps and I try to reach out to many different places to see if I can find help or support and I feel like I’m just hitting a wall over and over again I’m getting to the point where I feel like I’m gonna take things in to my own hands and just end it all because I really think people think that I lying when I say, I can’t find help

I'm paranoid people think I'm lying!

Sometimes I think people think that I'm lying, because my MS brain reacts weirdly to things. It's like as I'm trying to find words and remember things, it looks like I'm making stuff up! Anyone else get that? In our latest edition of Multiple Shenanigans (a podcast about the funny side of MS) we've...

Dating sucks 🌈

This generation of dating is so hopeless, ppl intentions aren’t pure, everyone lying, cheating, or the obvious using your medical diagnosis against you because they don’t have the courage to understand you as a person. Let me know your thoughts…

Hi all, I'm curious about your opinions and experiences around this. The B/F has smoked weed for many years. More recently, he started using a vaporizer instead. When he was diagnosed with MS about 3 weeks ago, he asked the neurologist if the weed use had contributed to the development of the diseas...

Disabled Persons Railcard - issues

Hi all. I went to apply for one (a UK thing) of these and the website doesn't list MS as being an eligible condition. That annoyed me so I wrote to them and cc'd my MP (Ed Vaizey) as it seems to be out of line with the Equality Act 2010. You can't just pick and choose the disability you feel is wort...

Just Diagnosed

Five years ago I had optic neuritis in my left eye, so I've known for a long time that MS was a possibility, but my scans at the time were really good, my eye healed very well, and I was discharged two years ago. Five years to th...
