MS groups and forums
Do u think by going to MS specific groups and being on forums like this make your MS symptoms more prominent and you likely to complain more?
I have stop going to my local group and not been on this forum or others much I have sort of nearly convinced myself I haven’t really got MS 😂. I am still knackered, get vertigo, ache like mad and feel weird.... I have stopped all medication and most of the time I just bumble on and forget about it.
Do you think sometimes indulging in MS 2 much is u healthy?
@kitty369 , there's strength in numbers. Along with a great deal of experience in managing symptoms. But, you don't want MS to take over your life. As with all things MS, it's a question of balance. 😉
Hi @kitty369 personal opinion but places like Shift she brilliant in that you can be as involved as you want to. You can dip in and out at will but you can always ask a question. I stopped going to my local group 8 years ago, used to have a lot to do with them, used to be on the committee, went to weekly yoga classes specifically for people with ms, but was dropped by them when I got Breast Cancer. Just like my family, they couldn't deal with 2 diseases. But hurt and upset for a couple of years, but as I was going through chemotherapy, baldness, marriage break down etc., had too much to deal with it. I needed a shoulder to cry on and I found one with Shift, you can moan, cry, celebrate, whatever floats you boat. You can make friends, have a giggle, commiserate, share info and experience and if you want to, do it behind sobriquets so you needn't tell anyone who you really are if you don't want to.👏👂
