Hi Kelly,
I dont know your situation or whats happening in regards to your MS, but i just wanted to say its better to rant and get it all out than feel backed up and bogged down sometimes, I’ve only been on here a couple of weeks but I’ve found it to be of great help to get things off my mind with people who understand my frustration. I really hope you start to feel a bit better soon

I completely get it. I have been abandoned by friends, hardly go out & fed up with feeling like shit all of the time……but I won’t let it beat me & will continue to put on a happy smile & stick 2 fingers up to the world. You’re going to have off days, this is a life changing illness but think of the good days as well xx

Gosh, yes. I’ve never actually answered what the point is either, but that reminds me of when I worked, before I was forced to retire, and sometimes in the middle of a really £hitty project I’d find myself asking what the point was. February is a horrible month, whenever I’ve had a real depressive patch it’s been around February or March. I think I’m doing better this month because the last couple of weeks have had some really nice sunny days which always lifts the mood.
I remember talking to my neurologist when I was having a particularly depressive period, and he did say that with ms the scarring on the brain actually be the root cause of the depression. So it can be a symptom of MS as well as being a side effect of having it.
It did actually make me more amenable towards taking antidepressants! I find that I need to wallow in the pits of despair for a bit though to be able to get it all out, and it means I’m more aware of whether I’m spiralling or not.
I hope it doesn’t last too long, be kind to yourself.

Hi Ken75, that’s exactly me, I’m fed up to the back teeth, don’t get out much, friends 
But I thank God for my hubby (full time carer) and like you stick 2 fingers up, I will not let this beat me.
Stay strong, stay safe and keep

Amen to that. I have had PPMS since i believe 2000 first symptom ON.
I have always been positive and get on with things. loosing my mum 2016 ( i was diagnosed 2 weeks after she passed), then my beloved husband 2017. i have lived alone since then just whiling away the days with a little rescue dog.
i have worked hard to stay as mobile as i can. then a few weeks ago ended up in hospital with a suspected stroke. they did an MRI and found i have active lesions on my spine, and the funny turn i had was down to that.
I am really struggling with pain at the moment i see my MS nurse 11th march. I wake up in pain, and cry for my mum I am 73. no meds for me just psych drugs which don’t suit me. i have a little dog 15 who i have to keep going for. seriously when he passes i wont have another, and will just let the disease take its course, had enough.
your still a young women i started my journey around your age, and i fought and learnt how to deal with it. Overall i have had a decent life until 2 weeks ago. SO get and do the research to help your symptoms. I have bladder issues, bowel you name it.
DONT LET IT BEAT YOU. i didnt but is getting harder for me now. so come on lets fight it together.
