Hi, since about 20 years I've got multiple sclerosis and, due to that, chronic fatigue and depression. I can still walk and my medication (Avonex) works well for me, so the disease progresses very slowly.
But still , just getting out of bed can be a challenge!Anybody here who has multiple sclerosis?
Love,
Kristin

My brother has had MS for about 3 years now. I think he takes medicine for depression, too. He said the medicine he takes for MS works good for him, too. I know it's a difficult thing to have.

I have MS too. It makes life really hard. Everyone in my life accuses me of just being lazy and spoiled. I don't have any treatment. Doctors where I live are horrific and just want to give me Xanax.

I was diagnosed seventeen years ago and still can't find a doctor who offers anything other than benzos.

My MS keeps me angry ... actually being mistreated, and discounted, by everyone makes me angry.

MS sucks!
