I spend a lot of time painting w/ oil and acrylics. Very soothing. With fatigue that’s a little harder to combat :/

Ok. I am going on retirement disability by the end of the week. It’s just getting hard to keep my balance at this point.

I’m actually in the process of figuring out if I’m going to go on disability as well. My balance and just my reaction time with everything has worsened.

I hate this disease. I do t like the feeling of ppl thinking I’m just making up these symptoms. As if I have something to gain. Honestly the one thing I regret is being able to touch things with my hands and fee normally. My hands have been numb pins and needles for the last two years.

It was 2018 for me as well when they made the diagnosis but the lesions on my brain show that I had a flare up when I was younger that didn’t make itself really know until I was in my late 20s

Ugh I’m sorry man that’s unfortunate to have it go down that way. I randomly woke up before work feeling like what I thought was vertigo. Every which way I would move I would get her nausus.
