MS with Epilepsy and panic attacks

Then the fibromyalgia and chronic migraines that I had before that I'm rolling with. Long list of other problems, still rolling. Then the Epilepsy hit me. No more rolling. My first gr...

Fear

Anybody else having this problem? I am disabled. I am afraid of starting anything. There's the painful lack of attention span, fear of failure. I used to be pretty brave and fearless. Back in the day I entered pageants, had plastic surgery to get rid of fat on the sides of my knees, also entered a ...

Can your balance come back to normal? I can walk a lot better but when I come to stop to stand I feel like I’m swaying forward and backwards

Feeling like falling backwards

Hi, Recently I have had a strange feeling that I am going to fall straight backwards when walking. I have only had it twice but it's a strange one. Anyone experienced this?

Falling backwards!

So sorry for being so quiet on here! I’ve been falling more often, causing damage to my ego!! I actually fell in the service station toilets, wacking my head and elbow!! Luckily a stranger helped me get up, nice to know there are still nice people in the world willing to help!

Help pages

Anyone know of any instagram pages that are good to follow with MS? 8 years in, just turned 29 struggling a bit lately. Maybe its because I’m 30 in a year and feel like I’m moving backwards instead of forwards. Any other 29 year olds or of similar ages out there feeling the same?

Dealing with in laws this weekend

My mother and father in law have their own share of chronic health issues so they empathize somewhat with what I have, yet they haven’t seen me since my diagnosis and there will be other relatives there that won’t understand. We live several hours away and we’ll be going to visit them and all my h...
