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

Still trying to navigate things. Having a bad day. Worst in awhile and I feel like I haven’t been symptom free for weeks. Thinking about the emergency room. Any thoughts?

Dx in January of 2008. So little over 18 years with MS. I'm currently on oral meds and ocrevus infusion every 5'months. I'm SPMS in stage of MS. I worked 15 years with MS. April of 2023 had a big flare that almost put me in a wheelchair. I still walking but use walker or cane. Every day is a struggle yet I push forward. I'm 52 years of age. I feel bad I have to depend on my wife for a lot because she has her own health issues. We be together 28 years this coming October. We help each other. I try to stay active I build custom bike and restore vintage bikes as well. I even build them for people with disabilities. If any one like to join my bike club here the Facebook name Lay'em Low Bike Club. I'm the president of the bike club which is worldwide. Thanks for reading my post and I'm excited to be here. Everyone have a great day.

Try dragon fruit if you want to clean your Gut.

Work as a natural laxative work within 10 minutes. Just make sure you don’t have anything to do that day.

Does anyone have a physical job? I walk a lot daily. By the end of the day my spasticity is so bad I can barely move, forget walking… I just want to melt into my recliner when I get home. My family gets so frustrated that I don’t cook dinner enough. They just don’t understand the severity of my pain even when I try to explain it to them. Living with MS is frustrating! No one understands the pain we go through.

Is anyone scared to try to date? I was happily navigating being single and taking time to relearn myself. A yr in I started having MS symptoms. Now I feel like no one will want to date me. I can’t even imagine trying to be in something new then having to explain why I’m sleeping for a few days straight or all of the other random things that others look at as lazy.
