Hi everyone, I hope you all doing okay & staying strong. I have alot going on & I feel like crap. I been stressing but Lord knows I try not to because it's not good for my health. My oldest son was in a bad car wreck on Ma 16, 2026 & it took a toll on me when I went to the hospital & seen him with that breathing tube in his mouth. Hearing the doctor saying he can't breath on his own devastated me. God heard my prayers & gave my son another chance. He showed him grace & mercy...my son had to have surgery/ in his hip 2 plates & 12 screws. He's going through Rehab Therapy now. I stayed at the hospital with him for bout 14 days & never left his side. The hospital then transported him to a inpatient Rehab Therapy Facility I stayed that day & went hope to rest. I having been feeling the best. I need to go see my Neurologist but my car a/c went out & I can't stand to be in the heat very long. It takes 1hr. 10 min. to my Neurologist. It's sad but I don't have anyone to take me. My oldest son towed out his car & my baby son drive trucks over the road/ he drive his car to Atlanta truck spot & leave it there while he work. I'm concerned & honestly worried about my health for 1 my vision is blurry going in & out/ the pain in my right eye is excruciating it was like that before I think it's optic neuritis. I think I have another UTI, and my memory done got worser, and my whole body especially my legs are aching so bad. It sucks having MS & you don't have a support system or anyone to help me when I'm down & out. I just pray God hears my prayers...Still I'm there for my mom with dementia, my son because he still needs my help...but I look around & nobody has me. One of my sister's have cancer & still I go by & check on her & call her but hopefully she will be fine she done with chemo, had surgery, and next step radiation. I tell God I see why you allowed me to go through the things I went through in life...even though I'm going through I'm still fighting & staying strong. If, nobody else don't got me I got me & I know God got me. He didn't bring me this far to leave me. I'm just going to stand still and wait on God like always...he might not come when I want but he's a on time God. He amazes me everytime!🙏🏿❤️🙌🏾

One more question… How do you handle the moments when you start crying for no reason at all. It’s embarrassing, and I try to hide it by taking deep breaths.

I was diagnosed with MS just over a year ago, and it all started from waking up one morning for work and my left hand felt like I slept on it all night, since that moment it progressively gotten worse to the point where my three fingers were curled into my palm and I had no use of them and the pain was incredibly intense. It hasn't changed since. It's been a year now, and it's still the same, I have been to my neurologist since being diagnosed and have done different treatments and medications but still haven't had any improvements. So, at this point, I'm just lost and hoping to connect with anyone who has been in the same situation or anything

lately i just haven’t been ok, im fighting other battles besides MS & i just want to hide under a rock. it’s hard finding a decent job, hard getting approved for disability or housing. HARD to find housing … im just tired & overwhelmed & the more i talk about it, its like my MS starts wit the tingling in my cheek, can no longer get my words out … i just know im tired & the fact i no longer have my mom just makes me feel worse… 😔😔😔😔

For those of you who have been living with MS for a while, how do you handle situations where people know about your diagnosis and start sharing opinions or unsolicited comments about it? How do you remain calm and composed in those moments?….. I what to say… if you just the research !!….

Is anyone aware of online support groups for the spouses/domestic partners of Peale with MS? My husband is feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
