Feeling horrible like life is going on around me and I can't understand it. The way my body feels is like it is falling apart. I have been in the hospital. They do vitals, blood work had a MRI done. They always discharge me and say there's nothing wrong that they can help me with. I would like to get into a assistant living situation because I feel I need it.

Does anyone else ever feel like they know how certain meetings, conversations, or even relationships will be done before they have even really started? I feel like I have a tendency for knowing stuff like that and it aggravates me…

Hey everyone, I’m Bigg Kenn. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a couple weeks ago after going to the doctor for vision loss in my right eye caused by optic neuritis. It’s been a scary and emotional adjustment, and after about 2 weeks my vision has only slightly improved. I’m still learning about MS and what this journey looks like for me, so I joined this app looking for support, advice, and connection with people who understand what this feels like. 🙏🏾

💯I like this platform, it's nice to finally be in a room with other people who aren't so different from me, we all have MS and we all know how awkward social interactions are with others w/o MS . 🤦
