Hey everyone 👋 I’m Dylan, a 38-year-old guy living with MS out here in Saskatchewan. I run a legal weed dispensary (yes, I’m that guy), and I use dark humor, sarcasm, and a whole lot of cannabis to get through the weirdness that is life with MS.I figured it was time to find a space with people who get it the fatigue, the brain fog, the “oh cool, my leg’s just doing its own thing now” moments. I’m just here to connect, share some laughs (the darker the better), and not feel like I’m the only one in the snow belt dealing with this.If you're in or around Saskatchewanor even if you're not say hi. I don’t bite. Unless it's a bad MS day and my jaw spasms. (Kidding. Mostly.)Looking forward to getting to know some fellow weirdos on this ride

Greetings everyone, I am a 63 year old mom to a 36 year old son diagnosed with MS in May of this year. In July my son lost all his abilities to function in every way. He was in the hospital for three months and now he's in rehab learning to walk, talk, and everything else that this demon disease took from him. We have a long road ahead of us and I have so much to learn about MS I'm terrified but I know that everything is possible with God. In July I was told that my son would never speak or walk again, but now he's speaking clear enough to understand him and walking plus feeding himself. I'm praying for everyone in this community and looking forward to making new friends. God Bless you all.🙏♥️🙏⚘️👌🏻

Feeling really scared at the moment

Hi everyone. I was finally diagnosed in November with RRMS after my lumbar puncture. I had a huge flare up January 2023 and that set ball rolling. I had 5 spots and 2 are not very small. I had a huge flare up in November and just over it now. I lost about half my sight and balance and motor skills....

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...

Since the first moment on Christmas Eve when my doc said "please don't be afraid, but I think we're looking at MS" I feel like my life, my body and brain have been hijacked and no longer mine. Does this make sense to anyone else?

Does anyone randomly just feel light headed for a moment but then it goes away?

My 16 year old daughter was just diagnosed yesterday. Sad as her mom and angry. Guess it's normal.
