Hi
New to reaching out despite being diagnosed with RRMS in 2017.
I lost my job of a decade a month ago and started another, but I was not prepared for how utterly exhausted it would make me feel so I have handed in my resignation already and feel like a complete failure.
I’m trawling through job adverts not knowing if i can do this and I feel so lost.
I applied for pip back in 2017 and was awarded 0 points! - has the system got better since then recognising how debilitating the fatigue of MS is?
I just want to sleep and cry tbh, I feel like i have coped as best I could since diagnosis, but now my life seems to be imploding, I don’t know if the fatigue has increased due to the MS, stress or me aging (I’m 42). I’m due my annual check up (via phone urgh) in a couple of weeks and an MRI in a months time.
Any advice??

Ok, down to you sweetheart.
You know what you should’ve done, is not resigned, but gone long term sick. Maybe other folk have said this, eh?
It’s something many members here advise, when work becomes too much. You see by resigning, you make yourself jobless.
I retired on ill health back in 2000, after 15 years with local authority.
I have had PPMS for 25 years, get full PIP but need help with so many things.
It is worth you trying for PIP again. They arent so much interested in a diagnosis, but how it affects daily life.
