Hello & welcome. I went through extreme tiredness when I was first diagnosed in early March 1994. I remember I slept a lot. I had double vision real bad while the Drs. were trying to figure out what was going on. It had pretty well resolved it's self & they came up with probable MS & sent me home.

Tell your Dr. about being so tired they have things now they didn't have back when I was diagnosed.

Check with MSSA as they have many programs to help you. I do know you need to stay limber by doing some stretching exercises everyday or 2. Make a schedule to get up & go to bed at the same time everyday. I had to do that. Oh keep walking, that is important. your are in my prayers now & always. Mary

Hi,Ms., it's not a terminal illness. Thank God ,ddiferent treatments are available not to cure, but it can stop the progression. Listen to your doctor and always keep positive. Good luck.

Welcome qryche71 . For me this is a place where I feel connected to people who really get it, which has been so helpful. There are many here who had to give up work, like you. Like others, I have to say stretching and exercising in whatever way you can makes a big difference in the long run.

I turned to art to help me "escape" and it makes me feel like I have value. Is there something you are interested in that you would like to do? That's what has helped me a lot!

Hello qryche and welcome! I don't know what you handicap is but I agree with others keep stretching and moving your muscles. You may want to ask your Dr about getting physical therapy.

Hope you feel better soon🌹
