My partner tells me ‘it’s mind over matter’ I try to explain it’s not I am physically in pain and I get so tired I just cry. He tells me to walk it off and I need to think I’m well and I will be. It’s so hard to try to explain to him how I’m feeling. He thinks I’m just being lazy

I need someone else with multiple sclerosis’s thought on this. After I moved back into my mothers house after a abusive relationship and, after a family member past thinks I’m to “weak” to walk to the store even though I have walked further. Yet no madder how hard I try to show her I can do it and I need to be active she follows after what her new boyfriend says and thinks I need to stay home which is making my legs more weak.

Has anyone had issues with thier neurologist and thier diagnosis type? I ask mine, everytime I see him, which type do I have, and he will not answer that. I think it because there doesn't appear to be a set course of progression and it can change. But I feel that he should be able to determine a type.

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?

Has MS changed your personality? I think I was nicer before… I’ve been told MS can induce personality changes. I am not sure if it’s MS or just tired of the whole thing?

Has anyone’s doctors tried to find the cause of their MS? I think it’s bazaar that nobody cares what caused this in me, in the first place. No family history.
