Sleep problems

Hi everyone, Hope everyone's doing well. I'm looking for a bit of advice around sleep problems.

Diagnosis Stories

I see there's lots of people on here who've been diagnosed in the last year or two. I wondered how it was for people? It's helpful to hear what others have gone through and how they're coping.

Burnt the food. Argh!

I think my memory is getting worse. I used to be able to do several things at once. Now I thought I could and burnt the food. Good job I didn’t burn down the house. Life is definitely more frustrating with MS. My hubby suggested writing more notes to myself. I think I would probably forget to write ...

Vaccine Alternatives for Gilenya

Hi everyone, this is my first post here on Shift. It's good to be here! I'm posting because my wife has MS and she takes Gilenya daily as part of her treatment plan. As many of you may know, data shows that Gilenya doesn't allow the COVID vaccines to produce antibodies. We're trying to find ways to...

The Buck List Job - Dang!

The other night I gave a presentation on Alaska as part of my book launch. For years I was a teacher and school administrator in Alaska. My dream, education, and training pointed to the superintendent of schools position. Then MS struck, and I was on medical disability ten years ago. Fast forward to...
