Very true words

When someone asks me about MS, if they know anything, it's usually that it affects a person's ability to walk.

Mixed messages

Hello all, I'm wondering if other people get confusing messages from bladder and bowel, i.e. 'need to go... don't need to go' once you get to the toilet. Very frustrating from the effort it takes me to get up/down & jeans off/on again. My husband says it's all in my mind, but I'm pretty sure it'...

Afraid To Eat

MS comes with bladder and bowel problems, but lucky dude, I also get severe pain and sometimes vomiting due to my intestine getting obstructed or partially obstructed. Any help?

This year you've decided to hit me hard and unexpectedly. Three, THREE MRI's relapse after relapse. Urinating my pants and having to run t...
