      We have to take ownership of our feelings! NO ONE can make me feel anything :) Haven’t we had enough of MS thievery??!! Own it, it’s awful, what the heck can we do about it?!! I WON’T allow my zest of life be torn away too!! Slam a weighted ball at the gym visualizing squishing the whammy MS!! Slam it hard repeatedly if possible because at least you’re getting some exercise and helplessness out of your body!! Love and hug your now sweaty self, you are perfectly IMPERFECT 🤗 🤩 💋

      Don’t be alone- is there an ms nurse or neuro you can talk to? What about your doctor? You have to make sure you talk about this with folks who can understand. If I can help or just be a listening ear my email is shirley2322@icloud.com ❤️

    I wish I had found this video a few years ago. I've been living with MS since late 2011. In my case, multiple sclerosis is hereditary because my mother has MS. She was diagnosed in 2001. My mother's mother(grandmother) had MS from 1975 and died from it in 2002. And it's even worse on me than it is on my mother. Because I'm an African American male. From what studies say that it's worse on black men.
    In the 1970s, they didn't have the treatments that they have nowadays. So my grandmother had it. They basically told her not to do much of anything she listened to them. She got worse, and she was paralyzed from the neck down. The doctors didn't know that it could be hereditary. I'm living proof that it's hereditary.
    I'm not married and I don't have children. One of my biggest fears is that if I had children that I will pass it onto 1 of them, and I don't want them to live with that burden.
    When I was first diagnosed, one of the symptoms that I mostly have was walking impairment.
    And my walking has decreased over time. Also, I love to buy my bike, but my bike riding is severely diminished because of MS. I also have the nystagmus in my eyes, and my left eye is blurrier, which also causes dizziness.
    Personally, I feel like my life has been stolen from me since I've have MS.

      I am so sorry that you have it also…You need to talk and tell God to help you..He hears, and will help you…But you have to show and tell him, you need him, that you want to continue to do what he wants you to do, and Be….Hugs and prayers for you my friend….

    Thank you thank you thank you for this video. Yes finally someone with MS saying we have brain damage because that is what it is. Like Dr.Boster says "But honey you look so good"We might look good or ok on the outside but having a tornado on the inside. But prayer really helps. Jesus helps and understands.Blessings and prayers for you all friends.

    Got diagnosed 2 years ago but i’ve been having problems like blurred vision from time to time with an annoying headache since i was like 11, later also tingling/numb feeling in my legs for a few months, first left then right and left again and a few months before my first mri also my left arm. And looking back i can see how it also effected me mentally and how i destroyed most of my relationships. Now im really close to 30 and i live a life i never imagined i would live… if u can call this living ofc.

    Watching this in 2024. I have a neurology appointment soon. I've been dealing with so many symptoms. I am scared...for so many reasons. Particularly I have 3 kids and a husband and I am the sole income provider. My daughter has Down syndrome and will need care for her whole life. I don't have an official diagnosis and I don't want this diagnosis but I know my body and how I have been feeling. This just makes nw so sad.

    I was diagnosed January 2019 and I have not been able to accept it because it's never the same. It's gotten so much worse to the point. I am very close to being wheelchair bound. I can't go out anywhere unless I'm in a wheelchair but I'm home I can get around With my walker, but I fall a lot and I don't like that.

    Scientific is good. Please make more video’s. Seriously, you’re the most helpful I’ve found. Also I’m a rage-aholic & yeah anxiety depression; but mostly blind rage fuels me. I threatened to burn my ex husband to death while he was sleeping. - I’m only sorry it was a threat. Ps. Oh yes I see - the hypothalamus & aggression. You know I freeze sweat in the winter & barely sweat in the summer now? The spring & summer are the best. The fall & winter are now my hell. I’m a winter person & my state in the US just went from 58 to 8 - in less than 8 hours yesterday. Ask me how my day was.

    Anyone out there struggling with balance and coordination? Love to exercise? Look for a pool near you that has a class you can do, like aquafit. Im 42, but i feel young in this class😂 I too have been told I have demyelinating lesions. Mine is tumefactive in the brainstem (pons). Tumefactive, to my understanding means that the lesion is large (2cm). Which could explain why they initially sent me to a neurosurgeon of the spine (as I also have a t11 intradural extramedullary lesion or "tumor" but the spinal neurosurgeon wanted me to get an ms diagnosis of the brain/pons 1st and said come back in 6 months????)

      My aunt has had MS for 40 years. She's become mean and hateful. She drives when she should not. She is a danger on the streets. She is now going on social media and attacking her siblings. It's out of control. Is this the MS or something else? I've always been kind to her, but she is being abusive to people I care about.
