This is my first post. I have all the signs and symptoms of MS. Just recently they have gotten worse and I have to adjust some activities to what I call"stay safe". I have read a lot of your post and it seems like we have the same problem, getting the official diagnosis. I make sure I walk out to the river dock every day. I go to the beach several times a week. I'm lucky because I was able to retire and live a simpler life. Proud to be a senior citizen living on social security. That's probably pushing it a little! I hope you can try to fight back when you can and not let the MS win.

And then I lost part of my first post

I'm kind of not ready to tell this part because it's not easy. Perhaps I will find a way. Thank you!

My first post is not that exciting but. . How do you describe your pain to the people around you?

What do you compare it too, and where does it hurt.

But I’m struggling that no one is asking how I am or how I’m getting on with my MS since my diagnos...
