Small wins

Just finished a 45 minute workout in 53 minutes. Took a break every 10 minutes but I did it. Did it look pretty? Probs not. But I did it and that's what matters. Hope this inspires others to move, listen to their bodies, and celebrate wins not matter how small. Cheers!

Fatigue

What works for you with fatigue? I know we are all wildly different & one size does not fit all. But I'd love to hear some options of things to maybe try out. 😊

I learned recently that I had an abnormal MRI 7 years ago,with abnormalities the radiologist stated were consistent with MS, but the neurologist generated a false report that stated that my MRI was normal. I also have been diagnosed with POTS, EDS, and am in the process of trying to get a formal diagnosis for MCAS. I live in area where the bafiatric pressure is always changing. I was wondering if living somewhere with a lowere bariatric pressure had been helpful.for anyone? Or if living somewhere where there is less variables in the bariatric pressure? Ive noticed improvement with lower bariatric pressure or even just even bariatric pressure. . Idk..has anyone here moved to a climate that works for them?

Pain behind eyes

So the past few days I have been getting pain behind my eyes. Kind of like a migraine, but it’s not. Has anyone else had the same issue with their eyes? It happens more in the evening and then I work up with the feeling. It did go away, but took a few hours.

MRI - annual MRI

Hi everyone! I live in West Yorkshire in England, and the nurse I will be transferring to says I won’t have an annual MRI - one of the reasons is that she has 700 people in the district and she is on her own. I’m a little confused as I thought people who were newly diagnosed with MS (diagnosed D...

How long did it take you to get in to see a neurologist?

I was falsely diagnosed with lupus in 2019, so I've spent years at a rheumatologist getting different meds that never worked. I gave up hope, then right before Christmas had a really bad flare up where I lost the vision in my right eye, after 6 hours in the ER was finally diagnosed with MS. It's may...
