Hi everyone, hope you are ok as much as we can be. I have read many posts, a lot focus on visible symptoms which are physical. I don't have so many apart from body spams, tremors.

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.

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😣

Tiredness/fatigue

What does MS tiredness and fatigue feel like? I don’t think I’ve ever experienced it before until now (perhaps). Despite a full nights sleep my body feels exhausted. My mind doesn’t feel tired but it’s like all the energy has been drained out of me. Does this sound like fatigue caused by MS? My spec...

Long Flights ✈️

Is there any assistance available for booking business class flights due to MS? I find economy class exhausting, and it feels unfair that we have to pay so much for what is a necessity rather than a luxury. Do you also feel drained after long flights in economy seating?
