Social

Hi, I am unsure of how to put a post up or even if it is allowed. I was just wanting to know if there are any active social groups who meet up for a laugh and just talk about the stuff we have put up with having MS. I go to exercise classes provided by the charity MS Research and Relief Fund. MSRRF....

New to the Fourm. Was recently diagnosed with MS last September. I get to see a Neurologist in June. Dealing with Face numbness, blurred vision, muscle pain, vertigo, headaches and chronic fatigue as well. It's starting to interfere with my ability to walk. I work as a case worker for Family and Social Services so I often have a heavy work load but my MS is causing me to fall behind due to days I can't get out of bed. I could really use some support. I'm not very educated about MS but I'm learning. Any information and tips would be very helpful! TIA!!

Struggling with socializing

Since my SPMS diagnosis less than two years ago, I’ve been seriously struggling with getting social interactions. I’ve always been an extremely social person but since MS I’ve become the complete opposite. And struggle with anxiety, chronic fatigue, depression, and mobility issues that make socia...

"Un"Social Work

We had no tenancy agreement as it was family so we had no legal standing. After being homeless for 5 weeks we found a private let in the v...

We no longer have anything to lose, other than our being, which is deterior...

Social media influencers like eddie abbew claiming ms can be cured by eating raw meat

Is this guy for real? If there was a 'cure' I think people would have discovered it by now, its idiots like this that make social media a dangerous place

Following Ocrevus is it advisable to limit social activities?

Hi all, I’m due to start my first Ocrevus treatment middle of next month. To those who are on this or have been on this DMT. Did it make you much more likely to pick up viruses? I work in a face to face environment where working from home is not possible, I love what I do but I’m concerned whether i...
