So my family decided to surprise me for my birthday the other day by inviting a bunch of my friends and family over to the house, it was so thoughtful and I truly was really surprised was not expecting it at all. I was a bit overwhelmed and ended up going to bed early because I was so drained. The next day my symptoms for some reason were so bad. My left arm and hand were completely pins and needles the whole day and my right foot to. I kept walking into things and my knees were killing me going up and down stairs. I was also dizzy. Has this ever happened to anyone after a surprise event or emotional event?

Emotionally drained

Hi, today is not a good day. Feeling very over whelmed, like I'm losing control of everything. Trying to get my head around this MS, still trying to do everything like normal but this is holding me back. Even trying to maintain a conversation is draining me, feeling exhausted. But I'm just pushing ...

Mental health

How do you deal with the trauma that comes with the life changing condition . I’ve been feeling mentally drained and wondered if anyone else feels this. Something simple as watching tv and seeing people able to walk “normally” or wanting to try something new like a sport but lacking confidence😣
