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?

Does anyone have a physical job? I walk a lot daily. By the end of the day my spasticity is so bad I can barely move, forget walking… I just want to melt into my recliner when I get home. My family gets so frustrated that I don’t cook dinner enough. They just don’t understand the severity of my pain even when I try to explain it to them. Living with MS is frustrating! No one understands the pain we go through.

Hello all. Hope we are all kicking this beast into touch. I have a job interview coming up soon, and feel I may have to tell them I have MS, as I can sometimes wobble a bit, but not intirely sure as telling my last employer didn’t end well! I’d be truly grateful for any suggestions or advice on this.😁

The battle is ending for me

I think my condition has been outlined many times. Somewhere Last week or so I've concluded that I either make a recovery to walking outside again or I will commit suicide. This is my new logic. I've stopped being a normal person, I don't think properly anymore. I'm constantly thinking of death. I...

Feeling like I want to end it all

I had the day from hell on Saturday. I've been really poorly with a chest infection for about three weeks. Due to being on Fingolimod my immune system is very weak. It wouldn't seem to shift even with antibiotics. Then last Monday I developed numbness in my lower back accompanied by some severe nerv...

At the End of my Rope and DESPERATE

Hi everyone. I have had MS for 4.5 years, received first round of Lemtrada in May 2016. I have gotten much, much worse since Lemtrada. Coincidence? I stopped Aubagio to go on Lemtrada. Does anyone think that maybe I have gotten worse because of stopping Aubagio? I can barely walk and my balance...

Does everyone with MS have drop foot or end up in a wheelchair?
