Health

Just a random question. Does anybody suffer from paper-thin skin that even with the slightest touch seems to peel away? I don't know if this is Multiple Sclerosis related or not. However, it's problematic. My legs have a lot of scarring all over them.

So I thought it was just a me thing with the bladder issues! These random feelings of depression and hopeless are driving me up the wall. I was diagnosed when I was 27 but about 3 yrs prior to that I was having so many health issues and the doctors did so many tests. Did this happen for anyone else?

Can I ask a venting/fear question? I asked my boyfriend to move out. It is not a healthy relationship and I am too old to deal with immature bs. I am terrified of being alone. Not literally, I love having a person. I love the co tact I love the laughter and knowing that there is someone there if you fall lol. Now here I am a single broke 55 year old. Who would want to start a relationship with that, oh yeah and I have MS. Sigh

Further to my post about brain collapse, mental health trust have said my confusion is “just my anxiety”! How can I not be anxious when I’m buying a flat that might not be right for me, I need to sell two flats, get insurance in them (complicated because they’re in one house), possibly pack up and move, and I have no assistance!

Hi, today I was diagnosed with MS. I had numbness in hands, arms and feets. I changed to healthy diet and numbness in feets went away.I still have symptoms in hands. I am due to be seen by a neurological doctor. I would like to hear from others how they manage daily life with MS? What treatment are you on and are there any side effects of the medication?

Mental health

How do you deal with the trauma that comes with the life changing condition . I’ve been feeling mentally drained and wondered if anyone else feels this. Something simple as watching tv and seeing people able to walk “normally” or wanting to try something new like a sport but lacking confidence😣
