So today October 18, 1994 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, 30 years ago On this day I was devastated and broken and the life I had planned was off the table. To be really honest I didn’t believe it. No! I’m 24 years old, I just got married, Not me I’m to strong and nothing can break me. I wi...

One of my biggest symptoms even before I got diagnosed was a loss of balance and constant falling. This has led me to be afraid at times to even try walking without my husband or someone else near me. At home I can do it as long as I stay near something. But at work or shopping or anything else walk...

I'm a brand new member here, and even if I end up not having MS I feel the most seen by Ms patients because of my symptoms so hopefully you all can give me wisdom. My whole life I have known there was something physically off about me. I couldn't do activities other kids could, random pains no one...
