My first year with MS was horrid. I was going back-and-forth to the ER and I wasn’t getting help in the ER at first. Then I was hospitalized. Anyone experienced going back-and-forth to the ER the first year with being diagnosed with MS?

Scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize for a major breakthrough in understanding how to stop the immune system from turning against the body itself.Their discovery explains key mechanisms behind autoimmune diseases, where the body mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells. This insight could transform how conditions like lupus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis are treated in the future.By learning how to regulate an overactive immune response, researchers have opened the door to more targeted and effective therapies that may reduce suffering for millions of people worldwide. The discovery also holds promise for advancing treatments beyond autoimmune disorders, including potential applications in cancer research. The achievement marks a major milestone in modern medicine and offers new hope for long term disease control.THINGS

Isolation and being judged.

I've recently learned I have MS in my brain and spine and the symptoms and pain, heavyness and the physical exhaustion it causes gets overwhelming. A lot of days I just want / need to stay in bed and be left alone. It makes me feel like a bad person because I'm not upholding the things that need to ...
