Symptoms

Hello 😊 I am just wondering, what were your symptoms prior to diagnosis? Were there particular symptoms that you were concerned about? Have you had any symptoms that weren't part of the most common symptoms but are still connected to your MS?

Hidden symptoms

Hi everyone, does anybody here feel people sometimes don't believe you have MS? Sometimes I nearly feel I have to explain why I only work part time so I share that I have MS...
