I can’t handle it I’m 18

I’m 18 and my life is over. I’ve been abused and had terrible things happen to me, and never had a friend. And now I have Ms. So my luck is terrible. The symptoms aren’t bearable. I wake up everyday with my nerves numb and tingling. I feel it, the back of my arm, my feet, my whole arm, my hands, every SINGLE day. And have muscle twitches all over my body throughout the day before on my face and now face and feet which are more common now. Every day. I have tinnitus, neck pain sometimes, etc . What annoys me the most is the waking up with numb limbs everyday 13 times a night(yes I counted) i can’t sleep anymore due to it. My life is ruined. I’m in highscool I’m 18 I’ve had symptoms for YEARS before this. I never had a normal life.

Listening to your story you have been through so much, but you are much stronger than you think you are I know life can be unfair but your not alone on this journey. There’s lots of resources and help if you can muster the energy to look for it, best wishes Mark

Hi there. Really sorry to hear about how life has been for you. Would you be happy to share some info on your journey with MS and what treatments and support you are getting?

Life really isn’t over, it’s just taken a different path. I can totally relate though, I was diagnosed 18years ago, believing that I would never get married have a career or family of my own. I have such a wonderful for-filling life, and you most certainly will too. Focus on today, be proud of getting through yesterday and look forward to tomorrow. Life is hard and you’ve been dealt with cards you don’t think you can play, but believe me when I say your going to be ok, your never alone & your beautiful and unyxc

I feel the same way. I’ll never get married my life has been nothing but constant torture. I feel betrayed by my own body. My symptoms are draining. I’m scared . I’m scared of the future, scared of uncertainty, scared of everything. Everyday I wish my symptoms would go away. I supposedly have RMS but my symptoms are progressively getting worse. I’ve not had a clear remission. My symptoms are just worse and worse. My nerves are beyond damaged. My nerves are seriously deteriorating
