Whenever I go to big events like concerts, football games, church, etc… I ask myself “I wonder who here has MS too!?” Anyone else ever think that way?

Q- I was thinking about smoking hash through a vape rather then smoking. I don’t smoke but it’s meant to relax me due to anxiety and help me relax before bed. What are you this?

I know it's time to quit working and focus on my health, however, no one understands and thinks I'm giving up. I dont feel as though that I have a good support from my partner or family. How do I do this alone?

Hello everyone 😊. A little about myself. I was diagnosed with MS (after experiencing a few different symptoms (🤔maybe in a period of 3 months or so 🤷🏼‍♀️). This happened November 2008 at the age of 30. After being discharged from the hospital, I went to see a neurologist who started me on daily injections. I don’t recall too much, however I remember the Dr telling me newly diagnosed patients will have a relapse in about 2 years. I was on injections (which injections 🤷🏼‍♀️) less than a year (due to insurance). About 2-3 years later, I again have insurance. I recall hearing anything you take or do to yourself can trigger your “MS”. So because of that, I refused to be back on meds/injections. My way of thinking (maybe not the healthiest) was “It’s been close to 4 years and I haven’t had a relapse or suffered from it. Fast forward ➡️, almost 16 years later I have never experienced anything to do with MS since the time I was diagnosed. I’ve doubted (and still do) of my diagnostic was correct. A few years ago I had some tests done on me and according to Dr- I still show cloudy patches bla bla bla. I’m very thankful and blessed with myself but I’ve also wished and prayed MS didn’t exist. I wish everyone the best, NEVER lose hope or faith and always be thankful you don’t have it worse 🥰.
