something specific?

A year post-diagnosis, I think I'm struggling wth the process of accepting change in my career. I'm feeling a combination of loss about my lack of achievement up to now, and grief that MS has narrowed the window of opportunity to find more success in the future. I was a gifted young person, first i...

These days have been up and down a lot. The weather has far more influence on me than it used to (it's hopefully about to stop raining). I am currently on anti-depressants for depression and anxiety since January. I often feel fatigue, but exercise regularly to try to combat this. I have not been...

Had the results from my last MRI and there is new disease activity on my spine.. my neurologist says he's not concerned and believes it is from before I started Kesimpta. There's no new lesions on my brain. Trying to be positive about it but it goes feel like a kick to the stomach. Hopefully Kesimpt...

As a counsellor I have learned that there are no “black and white” answers to situations and that we have to learn to embrace “gray” answers, much as we do in other areas of our lives. By this I mean that there will often be no right or wrong answers to questions we may get from our clients and we n...

I've recently started to drastically reduce the amount of gluten and dairy in my diet, I'm trying to reduce sugar and processed foods aswell. I'm interested in the Dr Wahls diet but it seems far too restrictive for me. Is anyone here on any kind of specialised diet for their MS and noticed a positiv...

Think of something you would like to change in your life and attempt a goal-setting exercise for it, using “SMART” goals. SMART = Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant / Realistic & Time-limited. People who are depressed and are feeling overwhelmed by life circumstances (for example, a messy...
