Pain

Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with MS in December 2024 so I am still new to everything. I have a question when you feel those sharp pains shoot through your body what do you do for the pain? Also, does anyone else experience their feet getting extremely cold?

Pain

Hi, how do you manage pain? I am suffering with pain all over my body, like a dull, deep, aching kind of pain? Having a moment where I am just fed up of it all...then I feel bad thinking about all the other diseases that are far worse and how other people suffer in comparison to me and I feel guilty...
