Tonight's topic is Stress, which affects many people with MS. It's a vicious cycle. Stress can worsen MS, yet MS can worsen stress. Question 1 coming right up! #ChatMS
Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS
Q1 – Does stress play a big role in your life with #MultipleSclerosis? #ChatMS
Douglas Walsh @baldman36841
#ChatMS I used to stress but since my diagnosis my family is taking all the stress off of me not my only stress is having the MS

@MustStopMS A1 #chatMS not a big worrier over things, nothing good comes of it, take it as it comes
Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS
A1 - I think most of my stress comes from worrying about things that may never even happen. Happen to anyone else? #ChatMS
Keisha Hester @keisha_maree
@MustStopMS A1- honestly I think stress was the biggest reason my MS was so active for the first few years. I went to crazy hard colleges and my stress was a constant 12/10. I had constant relapses & dozens of new lesions. #chatms
Aleyna @AleynaMoreHuman
A1: Stress is always present. Sometimes b/c of daily struggles and sometimes fear about the future #ChatMS

@MustStopMS A2 #chatMS nope
Aleyna @AleynaMoreHuman
A2: Yes. The daily stress comes in the form of wondering what new loss of functionality I will experience #ChatMS
Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS
A2 - I wouldn't say on a daily basis, but when it does happen it seems to pile on. #ChatMS
Douglas Walsh @baldman36841
#ChatMS sometimes I worry about my wife all the responsibilities that she is taking on

Q3 – What would you say causes the most amount of stress you experience? #ChatMS

#ChatMS knowing that one day that I will not be able to walk any longer that stresses me out
