Hi everyone. I have totally neglected myself and my life really including my MS with how utterly rubbish it all is for me atm. Im trying so hard to work out my marriage and its just too hard. I have noone to talk to as I dont want ppl I know finding out. Me n my kids aren't homeless anymore...we have a home now. But I am really really becoming depressed and having such bad thoughts. I want my husband so much as I love him but he isn't even a nice person 80% of the time. I dont even no why im putting this...im just needing to talk or It will end up killing me. Ive had 2 small flare ups since June because of all this. I live with 3hours sleep and constantly throwing up from stress and pain more than normal. I just dont know what to do anymore. Im a mum to an autistic 15yr old in yr 11 and a 4yr old starting school. I have almost nothing left in me. I dont know how to either work the marriage out or walk away...I need peace and I wont ever have it with him but it felt like it was worth it but now I dont know if it is. Sorry im just so upset xx

Fatigue : Hello everyone! I’m struggling with A lot of fatigue. I’ll get up in the morning have my coffee and bowl cereal, and about 1/2 hour or so I feel so tired my eyelids feel like they’re so heavy that I end up taking a nap! Does anyone have this too and/or any tips?

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?

Since I have moved to Florida from Vermont, I have been learning a lot more about MS as it’s whole until I actually found a neurologist that was actually specializing in MS. I did not know that not only is it a nervous system problem, but it is also autoimmune and I did not know That extreme cold and extreme heat can actually make flareups worse and if it is hereditary, it can also make the MS come out quicker. I did not know that I did 13 years making snow at a ski resort in Vermont and then when I moved to Florida, I did Five years underground construction and I always wondered why I felt funny and triple digit heat, but it wasn’t heat stroke, and there were days where if it got below zero or into the negative temperatures, my body would tighten up intense up like I was getting squished by a bow constrictor. I went years until my primary care physician told me to go see a neurologist, and then he gave me the evaluation told me to take an MRI. They did not find anything in my spine, but my brain said a lot is what the neurologist said, and then he started poking and stab in the bottom of my feet with stuff and doing a tuning fork all over my body and when I told him I couldn’t feel it in certain spots and then in other spots, I could just slightly feel it or it just felt like a ant crawling on my leg or on the top of my foot. I’ve never seen anybody that evaluated me for anything get so concerned, looking on their face and then now he wants me to do a spinal tap, which I am doing August 8. I already know it’s not going to be like the movies or television shows where it’s gonna be excruciating painful off the back. It’s going to be the next day. I’m going to have to recuperate. I have several family members with MS as well so they are kind enough to give me peace of mind explaining to me how they felt after all the stuff they had to do and I am pretty much doing the same thing and my neurologist did put me on something. I can’t remember the name of it or pronounce it but my flareup weren’t so bad, but then my colitis started getting worse so he took me off it and now as long as I just stick to easy tasks, I’m not so bad but it hurts sometimes to move. I can relate to how my mom felt towards the end now, she said she was in so much pain, but because her mind was slipping back into a childish state of mind. She had good spirits about her. My dad just turned into a zombie and he said that he only focused on walls or focused on watching a television show because it was the only way he could control the pain. I meditate to help with my pain and I listen to the doctors and follow my prescription regiment, but there are still days where it feels like I got hit by a truck and I just stood up out of bed. The scary days are when I can’t get out of bed altogether. I do not know if anybody else has ever felt like this, but there are days where I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy and to get places of business to understand what you’re going through and to explain to them OK if you have me do these tasks then don’t expect me to come to work tomorrow because I won’t be able to move. I have been rejected so many times my wife just finally decided to fill out for disability and now between my attorneys and Social Security I have my doctors not only giving me tests and labs for their peace of mind but now I have them filling out papers and forms for my attorneys and Social Security and it’s been like that for almost 3 years now every time I think we’re getting close I have more papers in the mail for my doctors to fill out or my neurologist there are days where I just wanna give up but then I think about what it would do to my family and then I sit with my son and play video gamesuntil the feeling goes away, and I snapped back into my normal self

I was diagnosed when I was 27 and was fine till I had a really stressful time , losing my mum and dad and a baby at 34 weeks , that was 5 years ago and just can’t seem to get back to where I was , I trip over constantly resulting in many falls the last one ended up in busting my hand up and breaking my engagement ring , I know it’s only a ring but just feel like I’m falling apart, also bad coughing fits for no reason where I actually thought I was going to pass out !

Has anyone had similar symptoms to MS but ended up being diagnosed with something else? If so what were you diagnosed with?

I recently had 4 MRIs due to being under suspicion of having MS but they all came clean. I'm glad it's not MS but I'm frustrated because it means I'm at square one again. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Never ending uncomfortableness

I can’t think of when I felt no symptoms at all. Everyday there’s something pain, cognitive issues, nausea, pain AGAIN but is this what the rest of my life will be like
