Stress = symptoms ?

I’m new to the MS journey and working out my relapses and symptoms. But does anyone else find that when you are really stressed your symptoms seem start? Or is that just me? This MS journey and understanding my body will take some time I guess.

At the beginning of July, I got really overheated one night (super hot night, no air conditioning) and ever since then, all the muscles in my body have been feeling really really tense, and is accompanied by a lot of psychological anxiety (like obsessively worrying...

Good news has left the building

I had my annual MRI done in February this year, but only got to see the results this week when my 6 month check up came rolling around with my Neuro. Turns out the existing lesions aren't getting smaller and suddenly two new lesions have appeared... I immediately went into a bit of a downward spira...

I work a pretty sedentary job, but I get up and walk as much as I can. My neurologist says that my fatigue is not MS related, but I feel otherwise... I do yoga and ...

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...
