This might help to explain to others

Hey all. During MS Awareness week I visited my local disability charity and had a chat with them about MS, the condition and emotions around it.

Dating

So here’s something outside of my usual and Occasional posts. I haven’t been on date Since 2019 (I’m single) And it’s only because I refuse to go on a date, considering my physical disability. Guys are still interested. I just have a really big ego I guess and I don’t except the offer even tho I wa...

Disability?

Has anyone had any success with filling for disability? My Dr wants to start treatment but my insurance does not cover medication. Any advice would be appreciated.

And as a disabled person, it rips my heart out to euthanize pets who have a disability that can thrive when given a chance. So, I take surrendered newborns from the clinic that would have b...

Don’t understand…

I was denied social security for disability. They say I can work, I can hardly walk, I'm very weak and I can't even go to the bathroom well.

Anyone have Ms for years without disability?

I’m 18 and my symptoms are pretty bad. I wake up multiple times a night with numb limbs and get constant facial spasms and twitches. These symptoms occur every single day non stop. I’m scared on what will happen in my future. Anyone have any stories?
