How do you do it?

Since my diagnosis (8 months ago) I think about what will happen to my body, every single day. I cannot stop it, I try to relax, but I can't, even though I know fear and stress is not at all good for my body. I think: will I be lucky enough to be able to walk until I'm 80? Will I lose my sight, he...

Work, stress, MS

Work has been busy lately! I'm grateful outdoor event gigs have been more consistent but it's the out of the blue, brain fog, blurred vision, trouble with speech days that still give me the fear of relapse.

Disease Burden

May I ask for comments about the “disease burden” rating you’ve been given by your nuero and how you feel that aligns with your ability or disability? My nuero said today I have a “moderate” disease burden.

MS Triggers Stress and MS Symptoms

Hi all, Just throwing it out there to let you know you’re not alone…MS diagnosis and symptoms trigger stress/frustration/anxiety which exasperates MS symptoms. Annoying and unmotivating. That is all. Anyone else need a moment to vent or need validation?

I haven't posted since last year, as I got Covid Pneumonia (Delta Variant) in October of 2021. There were times my family and I didn't think I'd make it. It came with severe fevers which, of course, triggered MS symptoms. It was so bad that I couldn't feed myself or even sit up on my own. Many times...
