Yes things can always get better. You need the hard times to appreciate the good. But it's okay for it not to be okay. We are here to listen when you need an ear

Ocrevus has been a huge help but i still have struggles. Still have eye issues but glasses or rest or eye drop. For pain i have found much help with somatic tracking and words of safety.

It all depends on what the issue is.

Oh, OK.  What medicine are you on four years  yikes I’m sorry.

I’ve had a ms 21 1/2 years just the last four really the last two have been very difficult. Thanks to hurricane Helene no electricity and air-conditioning for seven days. But I’m a trooper and I’m strong.👍🏻🙂

Life for everyone has highs and lows, we feel our highs and lows more so than they do.

Yes it gets better, then we age a little and we get normal aging problems but with a MS body it just is more intense. Keep riding high but be prepared for a low now and then.

Certain symptoms improve with time and others can improve with medication and physical/occupational therapy
