Whats with all the pee?

This is more of a venting session, and not everyone understands in other circles, but maybe this is a more appropriate platform. As I type this, I am a couple weeks away from my 39th birthday. I have 3 kids; 4 year old twins and a six year old son, am 4 years sober and in the best shape of my life a...

Not yet diagnosed, what's it gonna take?

I've been miserable for many years. Somedays I just hurt all over, every inch of my body. I have degenerative disc disease, chronic low platelets, high blood pressure, benign positional vertigo, I have my neck fused, my left hip replaced and my lower back fused. I need both knees replaced ASAP, and ...

Question about MS Hug

For the last few years I've had a lot of back pain. I equated the pain to lower muscle strength and weight gain in my abdomen (only place it shows :/), and the exercise I had started helped a little. But over the last 3 months, with a move of homes and unable to continue my exercises because we pac...

When you ask a simple question about MS and get an epic “I"

“Oh wow, that sounds rough! I don’t have MS myself, but I’ve had my fair share of weird sensations and health freak-outs, so I totally get where you’re coming from. It all started for me about two years ago, after a particularly stressful period at work — I was managing a huge project and pulling wa...

Soon to be ex-husband rant..

So, I’ve been married for 12 years, dating for 15 and it’s come to the point where we’re now separated. It’s been tough since I was in a care home last year for 3 months and he literally made me cry everytime he visited. Now it’s gotten to the point where I’m scared if he talks to me in case he say...

Ugh

The tingling and shaking through my body is so annoying. My husband doesn't get it. We have 3 kids. Blessed to be a SAHM but how do I run a house feeling terribly... I want more good days 😔

Hi just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, I have been having MS hugs, not sure why they are called hugs as hugs are nice MS hugs are far from nice, anyhow i have had them for months now some worse than others, I have had them at home and out and about, however not as bad as this last one I was travelling at 76mph on the Mway and had a really bad one,I could not pull over or off the Mway and I just wanted to curl up. It eventually passed after 10mins but it seemed like a lifetime. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and is there a way to ease the pain, thankyou
