Dancing with My Shadow



Multiple sclerosis is...
waking up one day walking with ease,
and the next, your legs refuse to follow.
It’s going to bed in pain
after waking with hope.
It’s living in a body
that no longer always listens
and learning to love it anyway.
It’s a battle the mirror doesn’t show,
but your body feels i...

Hello everybody, I am Jimmy. I just found this group and a little bit about me. Both biological parents were diagnosed with MS mom in her 20s. My dad and his 40s I have learned to watch for signs and symptoms, but I put them off thinking it can’t be happening to me it skips a generation And then I found out my dad‘s little sister was diagnosed and a cousin that is only two years older than me was diagnosed and I decided my wife being a nurse I might as well not put it off anymore because my body was getting worse. I have lost Feeling in both my feet. My limbs go numb for no reason I cannot stand or sit for long periods of time my bladder does not function the way it should. My balance isn’t the greatest anymore. I am pretty much going through all the same problems. My parents went through And I know I should listen to the neurologist and do everything but it just feels like he already knows he just wants to make sure that it isn’t a disease that mimics MS I know I just have to be patient and do everything but my body is in so much pain sometimes and I can’t sleep But then when I am able to walk around, we have sand spurs here in Florida. I can walk across my yard and my dog can feel them more than I can when they get stuck to the bottom of our feet and when I tell doctors and neurologist that both of my parents Suffered MS, their eyes light up like I’m assigning it to experiment and tell me that it is rare to hear that the neurologist I have studies MS and he says this was the first time he has ever heard of both biological parents having MS. He even showed me studies And it’s either a grandma or a grandpa Paw or a mom or a dad and then I was told I have a 12 to 15% more likely chance of having MS at first I was frustrated and then I was just depressed and then I realized if my parents could deal with it for so long and keep their positive attitude even though their bodies were breaking down And rejecting the things they wanted to do. I have decided that I will listen to the doctors but with everything else going on with me some of the medicines for it I can’t even take because of heart condition conditions or colitis. I appreciate being accepted to the group and I just wish there was something like this for my parents back in the 80s and 90s

My hardest loss

I think we can all agree that one of the worst things about this disease is all loss that one has to deal with because of it. I am very disabled now. I cannot walk, I cannot work, I have trouble speaking at times, swallowing is now becoming a chore. I have a Supra pubic catheter. I am beginning to ...

Is it worth it? What’s the point? 🤔

As with many of us, I was quite fit back in the day. For many years, I sold phones. 📱 I knew how to talk; when I spoke, I could charm the birds out of the trees. My best friend completed an Ironman last year. He then died of a brain tumor two months later—just seven weeks after qualifying as a cha...
