Hi all, I'm new to this site. I feel a slight veteran as I was diagnosed in 1992 aged 20 ( 1st episode aged 15) so have lived with it all my adult life, I'm now 48! so if I can help with anything please ask!

Welcome @ladylaura, how has you MS been in that time and do you have any words of wisdom for us newbies?

@LadyLaura

Hi @ ralee, my 1st words of wisdom is 'learn your body'. Meaning if something doesn't feel right don't ignore it. In my younger days my body would start feel heavy, meaning take a rest, but I just carried on, working, raving, cycling. Then BOOM!! body shut down, in bed for a week. 2nd is learn to say 'maybe'..you can't do all the things you used to. Don't feel guilty if you have to cancel plans at the last minute. So I reply "maybe" invites. 3rd it's ok to feel shitty!😂 After 30 years, I still get down, I'm still get angry, I still feel 'why me?', I still feel guilty than I'm not bad I'll as a fellow sufferer. everyone is different. Hope this helps, I could go on forever!
