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

Anyone suffering from extreme fatigue? I don’t even exercise anymore because it takes so much out of me. I just finished grocery shopping and feel like I’ve run a marathon. It’s really impacting the quality of my life.

Running

Does anyone else with MS run? I've long wanted to compare notes with others MSers who run. Everything from cooling techniques, coping with symptoms, stiffness, getting a sense of how performance is effected. Are there ever runs specifically for MSers? Is there any place that people discuss these...

So I’ve had really long road. Got sick in March 20 20 of course lol so it took about 20 months to get my diagnosis and in that time I got misdiagnosed two or three times. so here I am. Got my official diagnosis in January 2022 and I still feel like I have to explain myself to my close friends about how I don’t want to travel and go to a bunch of noisy places. I feel like they haven’t even looked into my disease. Some people have, and they tell me I’m doing great. The ones I haven’t act like I should be able to just go out and run a mile… super frustrating. How do y’all deal with people that refuse to look into your disease?
