Did anyone ever realize that symptoms start with the right side? Looking through all comments it seems to be the truth. My complete right side is so much weaker. Please tell me I'm not the only one n reading too much into this?

I'm so tired of being tired 😭

Please! Throw anything at me that might help with this tiredness/fatigue!! I've had a good sleep last night (about 8 hours), I've been up for 6.5 hours and I'm ready for bed again.

How do you deal with your family when they don't understand how bad you feel and expect you to be "ok" all the time?

I am in the UK and have not been offered these, I am due to start Re...

I confess I faked it for the first year I was diagnosed. I pretend to be like everyone else “normal” It was hard n it should have been I was living a lie in a way. I believe it was because I was diagnosed with ms when I was still in high school 17 years old. So honestly I am 40 now and feel free like I was forced to hide everything in my secret box in my mind and now it’s ok to be honest,to make friends with people who are like me that I can listen and also learn which I’m embarrassed to admit this is true that I’ve finally accepted that I have Multiple Sclerosis n that’s ok.
