✨Feeling blessed ✨ Honestly, being diagnosed with MS was the best thing that ever happened to me. Sure, I lost my wife, my kids, my house, my job, my mobility … BUT you know what I gained? A free bus pass. 🚌💳Now I can travel anywhere in England absolutely free. 🤪

MS has been the BEST thing to happen to me!

I was diagnosed with MS in 1999. I have Primary Progressive MS. I hit "rock bottom" because I lost my health, my career, my house, my wife, everything. I had to start over, but that's when I realized now that I CAN'T work... I focused on the fact that I don't HAVE to work. I was able to travel every...

Hi everyone,Living with multiple sclerosis has affected every part of my life. I deal with daily pain, trouble walking, bladder issues, dizziness, vertigo, heat sensitivity, and constant fatigue. Over the years, I’ve tried four different treatments, but none have given me lasting relief—and each came with its own struggles like weight gain, skin problems, high blood pressure, and overwhelming tiredness.Now, I have the chance to try stem cell treatment in Mexico, which gives me hope to regain my independence and get back to living life on my own terms. I’m waiting for a call on July 16, 2025, to move forward, and I need support to make this possible. All funds raised will go toward treatment, travel, and related expenses.If you’re able to help, even by sharing this post, it would mean the world to me as I take this next step toward a better quality of life. Thank you so much for your support.

My first time

This week I was traveling for work like I usually do. Planes, trains and automobiles have been the story of my life for over three decades. This week I was in Nashville TN. A town full of young, beautiful, vibrant people ready to take on the world and full of dreams and aspirations. Felt good to b...

Hi just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, I have been having MS hugs, not sure why they are called hugs as hugs are nice MS hugs are far from nice, anyhow i have had them for months now some worse than others, I have had them at home and out and about, however not as bad as this last one I was travelling at 76mph on the Mway and had a really bad one,I could not pull over or off the Mway and I just wanted to curl up. It eventually passed after 10mins but it seemed like a lifetime. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and is there a way to ease the pain, thankyou

Medication when traveling

This may be a really stupid question but better to be safe than sorry 😅 I have never travelled on a plane with my medication (dimethyl fumarate) If people have and can help that would be great. Am I overthinking it, Is it as easy as just putting in your bag as normal and they will just check it ...
