I like to wear shorts during the summer I know that’s bad while having MS but is there anything I can put on my leg and arm to not get a flare up if possible ?

When you get sick, how long dose it last?

I've been sick for about 2 weeks, the weather had been messing with my sinuses. I've had a stuffy/runny nose and I'm over it

I’m dealing with MS-related foot drop and persistent nerve symptoms (tingling, cold sensation on the top of the foot). I appreciate the advice about keeping the dorsiflexor muscles active and using an AFO when necessary.My main issue isn’t just muscle weakness though — it feels like the nerve signals themselves aren’t fully getting through, which is causing the tingling and cold feeling.Has anyone actually restored the nerve signaling enough to get rid of foot drop?If so, what specifically helped — therapy approaches, electrical stimulation, medications, or other treatments that improved the nerve signal itself?

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.

lately i just haven’t been ok, im fighting other battles besides MS & i just want to hide under a rock. it’s hard finding a decent job, hard getting approved for disability or housing. HARD to find housing … im just tired & overwhelmed & the more i talk about it, its like my MS starts wit the tingling in my cheek, can no longer get my words out … i just know im tired & the fact i no longer have my mom just makes me feel worse… 😔😔😔😔

Does anyone else get weird pain on the top of there head/scalp? It basically feels like I keep hitting my head on something and it’s completely bruised, hurts to the touch. But I haven’t hit my head. Even brushing my hair on those spots hurt. Anyone else?

Been 12 years and Ms has taken everything from me my job my family my reason to even get up. And nobody seems to even acknowledge what is wrong. I hope the future people have more results than myself. I am at the end of one terrible journey
