Struggling with Day to Day Life

Hi All So over the past few months i have felt life just a little struggle. I have tried to carry on as normal but started to feel i just cant. I feel like im slowly losing the get up and go and that my body is shutting down. All i can think is my mind is losing the plot and that i cant think straight!! Then i get a panic on which in itself does not help. I have always suffered health anxiety and question as to weather i have MS and that it could be something different. I was on Avonex and had been for about 5 years but came off that in September. Im now not taking anything. My whole body feels so tired and worn out and just a struggle to do anything. I have never really thought of having MS and just got on with it but have found myself thinking about it daily and what can really happen to you with it. I hate this time of year too cause the dark nights and cold days. I love being outside and pottering around but its such a drab at the min. Im sorry for moaning and know there are people out there far worse than i ever am. Im sorry. Im back at the MS nurse in feb so will have a chat then. Thank you for listening and Merry Christmas to you all Xxx

@cmlawrenson The good news is that you have been on this site for 3 years. Hopefully you have read posts to educate yourself about options to assist you with your challenges. The bad news is that you just wrote "I have always suffered health anxiety and question as to weather i have MS"... Do you have MS; if so, which type? Have the physicians verified this? If not, why have they been giving you Avonex for about 5 years?? And now stopped??? I am curious...

Yes i have known i have had it since 2011. I was taken off Avonex as after 5 years it has shown in bloods that it is no longer affective. I read about it a long but just find it hard to except that the symptoms i am having could be down to ms? Thanks for reply
