Hi Alina, Ryan sends his regards 🙂 I’m sorry about your recent diagnosis. I’m sure it isn’t easy, however, like you said, somewhat relieving. Because now you know and you can start battling something that has a name. Sadly Fibro is still very much misunderstood by both the medical community as well as society, so I know that it’s a struggle. But reach out. Yes, it might be a struggle for your family too, but reach out to them anyway. It’s important not to isolate yourself. I’d be happy to know you’re following my blog and please do keep in touch its a pleasure to hear from all of you. xx Keep safe !

Hi Roxanne, it is in fact the hardest part of MS I think. Even harder than the aches and pains and the physical struggles, is how misunderstood we all are. So we need to try and change that. If we can’t change it by explaining to our loved ones, we can chance it by reaching out to each other. 🙂 Stay safe! Keep in touch. I see you. I understand. xxx

Hi Kylie, I’m so glad you’re telling me this! This is exactly why I wanted to write this blog. Because I was you, and still am. But no we aren’t alone and like me and you, there are many others, so we should reach out to each other! I hope you keep following my blogs. More out soon! 🙂 Keep well xx

I too belong to the “warriors”, the ones fighting fibromyalgia, a condition I had no idea I was struggling with until a few months ago. And then things became clearer. Shocking at first, but clear, the enemy had been disclosed. And now I am taking it day by day, week by week, like you and anyone else like us. Also well done to your husband and loved ones who support you, this is a struggle for them too. I see it with my family and how it impacted them, too, and their life, too. Please send Ryan my regards, we worked together not long ago. I will keep following your posts and your story. Thank you for sharing yourself with us! All the best, Ilona! Alina

I have been diagnosed with MS at the age of 24.
Its not easy to live with it, knowing that ppl and even your friends do not undertsand what it is and how it makes you vulnerable.

Remember this though; they try and make you forget because it’s hard for them to accept. It has nothing to do with you but a lot to do with them. So don’t let them get to you. Thank you 🙂 xx

People try to make you forget or think you’re over it. But it’s disrespectful to assume that. Loved your post!
