I’ve now had three chat messages deleted - from three guys (American?) Is there a scam or something going on?! Messages when I got them were quite full on. I’m not looking for a boyfriend, particularly not across the pond! Is this site safe for chatting?

Anyone else have weird mouth problems? I feel like my tongue is always dry and my teeth hurt. It’s way worse if I take my adderall. I know the ms meds cause dry mouth but for the past almost two years it hasn’t gotten any better. I’ve tried the mouth wash and spray, sucking on hard candy. I can’t chew gum because of TMJ. Suggestions?

Ok so since my last loc episode I have started having weird things happen with my vison. It like walking through a strobe light(weird) no one including my eye doctor will explain it to me. This disease is frustrating enough, why do all doctors seem shady!?

I was diagnosed june 2025 but started noticing symptoms in January and didnt know anything about MS. I started off with vertigo,double vision falling down,headaches,numbness on left side of my face,eye peralysis,dizziness, very weak, shock feelings throughout my legs, high blood pressure, trouble swallowing food, couldnt be in the sun, trouble breathing, mood changes and anxiety. I workout every day though its hard take MS meds plus more and all i can say is no one knows what this is till you have it. I cant do things i used to do and hurts me every day also with a baby girl otw i know i have to stay strong as a MS WARRIOR 🙏

I’d love to hear about your experience.I work at a company that really pushes everyone to their limits. Most days I’m putting in 10–12 hours. Then I come home to three kids (12, 7, and 3), and there’s homework, activities, and just spending time with them. My wife does most of the heavy lifting at home. Honestly, all I dream about during the day is just some quiet and sleep.How do you manage the daily grind? Do you set goals for work, family, or yourself? Do you try to work on your skills, learn new things, or pick up new languages?Sometimes I notice that all these goals and self-improvement efforts feel completely meaningless. At meetings, we talk about ambitious new targets, but all I can think about is peace and sleep. Even when planning weekends with the kids, my mind just wants the same thing: quiet and rest.I’m really curious—how do you stay motivated to live fully, take action, and chase your goals?

Hi, today I was diagnosed with MS. I had numbness in hands, arms and feets. I changed to healthy diet and numbness in feets went away.I still have symptoms in hands. I am due to be seen by a neurological doctor. I would like to hear from others how they manage daily life with MS? What treatment are you on and are there any side effects of the medication?

Weird lower face swelling and lips.

Woke up Sunday with a very dry mouth and then the next day swelling around the jaw line and neck. My lips look I’ve had them filled for free!! Anyone else ever experienced this?
