Did anyone ever realize that symptoms start with the right side? Looking through all comments it seems to be the truth. My complete right side is so much weaker. Please tell me I'm not the only one n reading too much into this?

Disabled but not disabled enough- venting

Hi MSers, Hope you are well. In the UK MS is a disability by law. Such as certain cancers and HIV, if you didn't know we are protected by the Equality Act. I have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and I am not in a wheel chair. However, I have difficulties walking but you won't really notic...

I confess I faked it for the first year I was diagnosed. I pretend to be like everyone else “normal” It was hard n it should have been I was living a lie in a way. I believe it was because I was diagnosed with ms when I was still in high school 17 years old. So honestly I am 40 now and feel free like I was forced to hide everything in my secret box in my mind and now it’s ok to be honest,to make friends with people who are like me that I can listen and also learn which I’m embarrassed to admit this is true that I’ve finally accepted that I have Multiple Sclerosis n that’s ok.

Can I ask a venting/fear question? I asked my boyfriend to move out. It is not a healthy relationship and I am too old to deal with immature bs. I am terrified of being alone. Not literally, I love having a person. I love the co tact I love the laughter and knowing that there is someone there if you fall lol. Now here I am a single broke 55 year old. Who would want to start a relationship with that, oh yeah and I have MS. Sigh

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

My partner tells me ‘it’s mind over matter’ I try to explain it’s not I am physically in pain and I get so tired I just cry. He tells me to walk it off and I need to think I’m well and I will be. It’s so hard to try to explain to him how I’m feeling. He thinks I’m just being lazy
