Hello Again

Life swallows you up and you forget you're seriously ill until you have another relapse. I have to laugh otherwise I'll cry. Luckily, it's nowhere near as severe as my last just incredibly uncomfortable and is making work and study difficult. I'm also going to be starting my DMDs soon, I'm going to ...

The future?

Currently signed off work with fatigue. Barely awake for 8 hours, and will need a nap to make it that far. How do I know if this is it? If this is me now? If I can't go to work anymore? I am terrified, what do I do about bills, the mortgage? 😔🧡🧡🧡

Belong refugee here👊🏽. Been on a few DMTs started on Betaseron,Tysabri for 7yrs tested high Jcv+, switched to Ocrevus for about 4yrs then fell off the cliff went on disability in 2021(former CDL operator). Now have been on Kesimpta since 2025 getting around nowadays with my rollator and Zeen. Last but not least couldn't do this without the support of my wife and friends which is so important. This 🐂💩 can get lonely and frustrating always good to have a place like this to connect with others who truly understand. Feel free to reach out anytime!Keep your heads up 💪🧡

Help

We all know having multiple sclerosis sucks. I’m working 60 hours a week just to pay medical bills pay off. My car is due and it’s taxing on my health. Is it worth getting disability? How does that stuff work and how much can I possibly get?

Do you ever feel like…

you are trying way too hard to seem normal? I’m really tired today of acting. I’m almost ready to blow my cover but still afraid of being real about my MS at work.

Working w MS

How do you handle a non caring, insensitive supervisor? Mine doesn’t ask how I’m doing? Doesn’t check on me when I’m in the hospital and basically treats me like a nobody.

Impact of Stress

I'm completely confused as how to avoid stress, if I have a 5 year old, work, maintain family life, friends and just live. And when I say live... Just...
