A aha moment

So I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, March 2019 and when I go to the doctor my blood, sugar, oxygen etc is always good. So I wonder if I’m healthy how can I have multiple sclerosis. I remember a neruo doctor asking me if I smoked cigarettes when I was young 🫤. I also learned multiple sc...

If I wasn’t a parent I’d just give up. What do you all do when you feel this way. Reason being my condition is just too much. Simple tasks like helping me take the dogs out for a walk or to use the rr is a man’s job. I feel like Mr. mom I’m here to serve and help everyone but no one helps me like even picking up our children when I have vertigo or anxiety. I’m

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) back in 2018. Since then, I’ve been managing my condition with medications, specifically Baclofen and Pregabalin. Fortunately, I don’t need any other treatments at the moment. While the right side of my body remains weak and I walk with a cane, I am able to carry out all of my daily activities, including driving, spending time with friends, and fully enjoying life—ups and downs included.I recently started exercising, and I feel much better. I truly believe that with consistent physical activity, I can return to a more normal state, though I know I have a long road ahead of me.Thank you for your ongoing support. I’m grateful for the strength and progress I’ve made and look forward to the journey ahead.

My moment of anger

So I had my first real flare up with MS actually at the end of 2023 and I didn't get officially diagnosed until the end of 2024 (it was a pain to set up all those MRI appointments, which was why it took so long) Anywho, sometime after I got the diagnosis, I had to return to my day job at a fast foo...

Hello! Has anyone got advice on how to support fatigue? I’m suffering with a really bad phase of it at the moment. Except from rest is there anything that helps? Thanks!

I have been struggling with my depression symptoms the last few months- the symptoms are getting more intrusive in my daily life and effecting my roles as a wife and a Mom. I have a counseling psychiatric appt later this week and I am so nervous for what she may say she thinks I may need. I don’t want to have to be on an antidepressant. There are so many blessings in life, but my viewpoint has been so dim these days though and I know I need help.

How do I respond? I have been dealing with MS since 2010 but wasn’t diagnosed until 10-10-15. I was being treated for Ryder Syndrome originally for 5 years until spinal tap. I have a 38 year old “man hating” step daughter who thinks my MS isn’t that bad or I’m faking it. Worse been said on about 3 occasions over the past 2 years. other things have been said as well that have been even worse. I try not to CRASHOUT simply because of her mom/my wife. My wife is dealing with her own health problems as she has small cell stage 4 lung cancer. She’s in remission as of January (diagnosed in November). Any suggestions or ideas on how to handle this situation without dragging wife into it because she will try to play victim. Has anyone else dealt with this?
