After reading some of the stories on here, and realizing, I am not the only one actually means a lot to find some people that understand what I am going through. I just don’t understand why the doctors neurologist are just using me as a test subject and treating me like a science project And some of the stories are similar to what I am still going through how does anybody else deal with their bladder issues? I have a family member that does self catheterization, but I’m not doing that, but it is kind of embarrassing when you do have an accident in the middle of Walmart I’ve been using briefs to prevent it from happening again.

What charities do you support?

Many thanks t...

Dizzy Daze

So today I was planning on doing some errands like buying food from a near by store. I walked a block away and felt like the whole world was spinning. I had to stop in my tracks to try to figure out what was wrong. I pushed myself to continue to go to the store and was convinced I was just dehydrate...

Sharp pain

Since I’m the ONLY one in my family to have ever gotten MS, I’m not really sure if this is a symptom. But just today while laying down trying to sleep, I got a really sharp pain on the bottom of my right foot and right side and just now my collarbone got a pain in it.
