True story really. I am going to stay with my oldest son, here home my other son is overwhelmed, he doesn’t feel comfortable being too far from me🥹 his other siblings have minimized what he seeing maximally! We talk and I do understand his feelings, they are valid! So I’m me meeting my 2 granddaughters who are both under 4 so I am excited yet I have zero income😫 my flight and thing were gifted to me. I’m am grateful for that. I wanted to get to meet my granddaughters before anything else happens. I have hired counsel to assist me in obtaining Disability, I apply a few times and was denied. I can’t even afford my medication. Not looking for sympathy, I guess, just wanted to be more clear, I ABSOLUTELY hate MS and what it’s done to my confidence, yeah I don’t trust myself,& I before this all I was actually looking forward to turning 50! Yeah made it to 50 but I don’t like how I feel and how unsure I am now about the things I was MOST confident about doing, not so much these days and it makes me ANGRY cuz I didn’t plan this nor have the resources to live with this confidently. Praying for a steady body to keep doing what it HAS been doing for 49 years!! Health care is NOT caring these days and I can only say, timing has been my lack for some time now. I digress have a awesome MS’n day everyone. 💜🫶🏾🤟🏾💪🏾🤞🏾✌🏾

I’m experiencing neuropathic nerve pain in my legs and feet 😔 Its so mentally draining I’m finding it hard to cope with because I got to stay active to keep my mind sane and because I can’t do that right now I’m not coping at all. I’m having bad thoughts and I don’t normally get this low or depressed. How do you all manage this?

People continue to talk about me and despise me. However, they are unaware that I keep my mouth shut to conserve my mental and physical energy.

Belong refugee here👊🏽. Been on a few DMTs started on Betaseron,Tysabri for 7yrs tested high Jcv+, switched to Ocrevus for about 4yrs then fell off the cliff went on disability in 2021(former CDL operator). Now have been on Kesimpta since 2025 getting around nowadays with my rollator and Zeen. Last but not least couldn't do this without the support of my wife and friends which is so important. This 🐂💩 can get lonely and frustrating always good to have a place like this to connect with others who truly understand. Feel free to reach out anytime!Keep your heads up 💪🧡

I keep hearing that there's so many wonder treatments that are in the pipeline but how long are they going to be in the pipeline for. It's getting frustrating
