Going out

I went to a local gig today and I was thinking how different your priorities are when you have MS. Pre MS days all I bothered about was the price of the booze and that they had good tunes on the juke box. If them the drinks were cheap and there was rock or meal playing, then I was a happy chap. Now...

Drinking

I've not had a drink in a while, I had a blow out the other week.. I feel it's really set me back even over a week later, I know it can cause internal damage brain shrinkage. I don't like the hangovers or really going out. I'd rather do something in the day time. Think my clubbing days are over, but...

I want to be normal

I'm just so tired of being sick. I'm 21. Most people my age, their plans involve parties and going out and getting drunk - my plans involve medication and doctors appointments and hospitals and a sharps bin. In the last week I've had to go to A&E twice, once for possible appendicitis and once for he...

Sorry, I’m a newbie…

I’m new to all of this and I’m struggling. Sept/Oct last year was when I noticed my legs would feel like jelly after a 25 minute walk, but it’s nowhere near as bad now. I knew nothing about MS at that time, and all through November and December and I did life just fine. But NOW my brain is trying t...

I thought it was just a one-off last week... but I've now tried going out twice more and exactly the same thing happened. Shortly after the numbness, I get pain in my hip ...

The thing I'm finding hardest about it all is how alone I am, I have no support network. I don't have a very sup...
