Guidance on this matter

I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has dealt with housing issues like this or knows the right steps to take legally.

How do you deal with this?

I live with my sister, but she’s planning to move out soon. I’m wondering if it’s completely safe for someone with MS to live alone. Lately, I’ve been experiencing worse period pain, the MS hug, and other symptoms. Should I make sure someone is available to help me if needed? Any advice!??

I get intense body shocks of pain that brings me to crying in pain while it happens. Is this normal?

I had a spinal tap yesterday and besides feeling like I was beat with a sledgehammer on my back my head has never hurt this bad in my life. Did anyone else experience this? My dr did just to confirm her diagnosis.

So fed up with this

I have constant numbness, tingling/ pins and needles feeling in both hands. I’m waiting for my first appointment with the MS nurses to start treatment but is there anything else that helps? It’s really getting me down today

Hi Everyone 👋🏾 if anyone has experienced slight fevers and fell down always remember "lift assist" when calling 911. They then know to send the correct paramedics that it's not a life/death situation after answering their questions regarding bleeding, being unconscious, etc.. over the last 7-8 years this has happened to me and a high temperature is only 99-100 so not extremely high but it still took a toll on me. That's why I now have 2 sets of canes and walkers. And definitely do not have a friend, family member, etc to try to catch you while falling because dead weight is almost impossible to prevent and they can hurt themselves while trying to help

Just looking for a little clarity on this stupid disease. It will be 8 years ago this month I was diagnosed with PPMS. I have suffered very mild changes in my day to day living. However, these last few weeks I am struggling. Has this happened to others?.
