Does anyone else experience pain and throbbing in legs at night? It's only at night when I'm lying down and/ or ready for bed. It's different from my aches and pains and stiffness during the day. Was diagnosed in mid November so I'm still trying to navigate my way through all this nonsense 🙃😉🧠🫘( I call my lesions brain beans 🤷‍♀️😂)

Hello. I’m sort of new to this forum, have been posting away like an uninvited party guest. I’m very grateful for this app and the people here. My post: Someone had a question about loss of conditioning. I’ve been in and out of this too and wanted to say just keep trying and try not be be freaked out. All we can domis try at the various ways we try tomlive with MS. I used to be very fit, that’s no longer possible somInjust keep trying to move when I can even if it’s stretching, it all matters. Cheers to folks here, I’m glad to be among you. Very glad to read all these voices.

Had a horrible day. Worst in years. Everything went wrong. I sat here and cried for 3hrs. Nobody to speak to. Im trying. To do my best. My knee has been acting up and someone was supposed too be here at 10AM today and never showed. My power wheelchair got picked up today at 12 to get fixed but the loaner chair they gave me doesn't properly work so im trying to get a different loaner chair that works properly. Then we got our bank account scammed. We were able to close the 2 accounts and open new ones and changed personal info so they can't take the money out. . I was put on a new ms medicine infusion. My day went to crap. I hate this day. Please help me with my day. Need a friend. To talk to. No scammers please. Just good and honest people. Take care and please be safe.

To everyone living with MS, please remember this: you are still you, even on the days when MS makes you feel like a stranger to yourself.Some days your body may not cooperate. Some days your energy disappears without warning, and plans have to change. But none of that takes away your courage, your worth, or the beautiful person you are.You don’t have to prove your strength by pushing through everything. Sometimes strength is resting. Sometimes it’s asking for help. Sometimes it’s simply getting through the day and telling yourself, “I’ll try again tomorrow.”Be patient with yourself. Celebrate the small victories that nobody else sees. Getting out of bed, taking your medication, making it through a difficult symptom, or finding a reason to smile can all be victories.MS may have changed parts of your journey, but it does not get to decide the value of your life. Keep going, keep believing, and keep giving yourself grace. Your story is still being written. ❤️

💙 A Word of Encouragement for My MS Family 💙Today, remind yourself that you are stronger than the days that try to convince you otherwise. Living with MS can bring uncertainty, exhaustion, pain, and moments when you simply wonder, “How much longer can I do this?”But look at you—you’re still here. Still trying. Still pushing forward. And that matters. 🌷Don’t feel guilty for resting. Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s. Some days you may accomplish a lot, and other days getting through the day may be your biggest achievement. Both are victories.Take today one step, one breath, and one moment at a time. Be patient with yourself and celebrate every little bit of progress.You are not your diagnosis. You are still you—with dreams, strength, purpose, and so much life ahead. Keep going. Better days are possible. ❤️💪

Who else on here feels like this disease is ruining their life? My marriage is falling apart because of it and i really do not want that to happen. I know i have changed and i am on a lot of meds that are contributing to that and it is just all getting so overwhelming. My psychiatrist is trying to adjust my medication but if that doesn’t work i am afraid he will walk away

I haven't posted on here in quite a while, life has been very difficult with MS and my recent Crohns diagnosis. Trying to stay positive is hard at times, what are some things you guys do to keep that positive mindset active?
