Weight loss and MS

Has anyone else noticed any correlation between MS and weight loss? I have been randomly losing weight for about 6 months now. I was only diagnosed in July, but I’ve had problems way before then. Now I’m dropping weight like crazy, went from 260+ to 222.2. I know it’s healthier, but I feel weak all ...

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!

Weird head/brain feeling

Does anyone else experience weird head rushes that feel like you're going backwards on a roller coaster where you can't move and only lasts a few seconds?

Lucky me!

Today I went out in my power chair. To my horror, I couldn’t get up a curb & my power chair tipped backwards with me in it! Lucky two pedestrians lifted my chair back into it’s correct position! Scary stuff!
