Loneliness & MS | MSers React to Shift.ms forum 

Have you experienced loneliness because of your MS?

It’s such a uneven playing field, I have found MS groups that seemed really condescending like they were further impacted by disease and had already dealt with the issues I felt were important and similarly with less impacted MSers. I’ve had great group relationships that haven’t lasted long because we almost needed another common interest non MS to keep in touch. I had great exercise sessions and friendship with a stroke survivor and great news for her she improved her situation and slotted back into mainstream life but that’s were I’m faced with the struggles you covered here with “keeping up”? As for the lockdown side of things I really connected with my children and their learning while they were schooling at home during Covid. My children really returned to school with a better outlook, realising the Teachers aren’t actually speaking in riddles😂
