Work/life/MS balance

Just sounded out my boss' son. I had my days cut from 5 to 3 to 'save the company money'. I was told that this situation would be reviewed at the beginning of March. No-one has approached me about it yet so I took things into my own hands. I suggested to the boss' son that I could do 4 days a week i...

Swooshing loss of balance

Hi. I know balance is an issue for us lot(!) but I’m normally pretty ok. However, I’m just getting over a nasty but short term virus and am feeling like I have vertigo whenever I move. Is this a common occurrence after virus or could it just be due to lack of sleep last night? I’m 49 with RR MS. On...

RANT/REALITY CHECK/SEEKING BALANCE & PERSPECTIVE

Right I might get some hate for this post but can we all take a bit of responsibility here Please 🙈😬 Life and relationships should be about balance & give/take in reality we all know that that, takes work and rarely in practice does this happen. BUT we have MS -it means we have to deal with unbeli...

Worried about balance

I experienced a new episode one month ago, one of the main problems I had was losing my balance and feeling dizzy all the time. Now I am feeling better thanks to Ocrevus, but I have problems to restore my balance. Anyone experienced the same and got better? I mean, Will I ever go back to normal?

Balance & Fatigue

Hi fellow warriors. I'm having more regular balance issues and feeling very very tired. Is this down to MS progression? I'm on Tecfidera and Gabapentin plus Amitriptoline. Just feel totally knackered also think I'm getting a bad cold as my head really sore too. My balance hasn't been great either
