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.

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

Hello everyone, it’s taken me some time to find the courage to write this post.Lately, I’ve been concerned about my health, and multiple sclerosis is something I’m worried I might be dealing with. I don’t have all the answers yet, and I’m still trying to understand what this could mean for my future.One thing I’ve realized is that uncertainty can be difficult. Sometimes, you have questions that nobody around you seems to understand, and you find yourself looking for people who have experienced similar challenges.That’s one of the reasons I’ve joined this community.I’d love to hear from people who have been through the process of getting diagnosed, those who remember the uncertainty of waiting for answers, and anyone who has found ways to stay hopeful through difficult times.

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.

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. ❤️
