Everyday tasks are a struggle!

Hello @A MyMSTeam Member 👋 yes, our invisible symptoms mean we are frequently misunderstood. So many assumptions are made based on us ‘looking fine’! We all have different ways we deal with this so I am sure you will get some interesting replies.
Managing daily tasks can be wearing. Try to pace activities and rest when your body tells you it needs to - and don’t feel guilty. Welcome to this site where you will discover you are not alone 💜

I know i have a couple of people who check in on me and that's nice because i don't remember sharing i had MS with them lol. Other than that, friends making sure i take medications and just ok. I know that i had shared that i want to become pregnant. I am a geriatric pregnancy, they have changed the name i heard. Since i am 40, it is up there and people are concerned of that too. (other health issues as well)
Only problem i have is i have symptoms and no one can see it. when i expressed, main statement used, oh you look alright but inside I'm hurting :/
just sucks. Im not making it up.

Oh boy howdy! Do I ever! We have an invisible disability, unless you have mobility issues then people see that. It’s what they can not see that’s the booger!
