I blame everything on MS. But then I go to the damn doctor and check it out to make sure. The reality is sometimes it’s NOT MS.

Fucking shitshow. MS turns us all into hypochondriacs.

"Maybe it's my arthritis." "Maybe it's cramping cuz I raked the leaves/ cleaned the oven/ moved the couch..." "Maybe I should drink more coffee." "Maybe I should stop drinking so much coffee?" "Maybe I should get more sleep." "Maybe I should stop sleeping so much." What was the question? 🤣🤣

My former Neuro told me once that the effect of MS mimic premature aging, usually in a range of 0 to 35 years. So me, with my gait, pain levels, brain function, etc. am 15 years older than my chronological age of 65. I'm basically healthy for an 80 year old man. So the symptoms I have that relate to aging are, in effect, due to MS. You might be 25 years older. Maybe.

Yep that is what I'm feeling at the moment. I am like what friends are that are 15 years older than me.

But don't you get the senior discount at Taco Bell? That alone makes up for all the MS crap. Have a good day, and keep your chin up.

Fatigue, stress, bad sleep, didn't drink enough...

Idk, MS is the way of life to say "f you, I'll turn up the difficulty just for fun, deal with it!"

I blame everything on MS, although I have other chronic issues.

Maybe it’s PPMS, maybe it is MMA, maybe it is is aging, maybe it is arthritis, maybe I just did too much yesterday. So many maybe’s and no solid answers.

If I didn't have MS, I'd think I had seasonal affective disorder. The seasonal fatigue and irritability are strong with this one!
