yes it is true..the numbness will stay or go....depends on what your MS is telling your body to do....mine is there on the left side to my foot and into the right food....I feel good on most days but have continuous fatigue and mental fatigue and just want to either sleep or rest....welcome to ms unfortunately..good luck.

Good is a relative subject. After dx you have to live a different type of life style. One that is a lot more relaxed, less stressful.

My MS has never completely gone away. Always something that hangs on.

MS is never boring.

I have happy days, I feel good mentally lots of days, my body doesn't always agree with me tho ;) MS is a wonderful disease(not)
anyways some ppl go back to normal or almost normal after a relapse some still have some of it left, and others still have the symptoms. It really sucks.

OTHER THAN A LITTLE NUMBNESS THAT I HARDLY NOTICE I'M FEELING GOOD.

I feel good (meaning happy, connected, cheerful, engaging) almost always, but then that was me b/4 MS. I listen to my body and obey. So when I am tired, I rest; when I'm in pain-I try to do solitude things; I have learned to accommodate the numbness & tingling. I guess for me it is staying one step ahead of the MS. When I do have bad days, I ask "is that all you've got???? and kick back in gear.

I think you are seeing more post on here about feeling bad because there is someone who will believe us when we say we feel bad, strange, not normal.

I can tell my family but they just don't understand.

There are great times and bad times. Don't know if anyone else is like me, but I tend to write when I am frustrated. Honestly don't have a lot of extra time. Personally, I try daily to sit down and list in my head all that I am thankful for or grateful for. It keeps things in perspective. Normally this list is longer than the bad things.
When something difficult comes about, expressing it helps to get it out of me though. It is a way of coping.
I hope that your gratitude list is longer than your complaint "list"!
Learning empathy is on my gratitude list. It is a good quality to learn.

My foot remains partially numb, but it doesn't bother me at all anymore. I still fight the fatigue a lot and other symptoms. Depends on the day and stress. Good days? Yeah, I've had a few. Actually, most days are 'good,' but I've experienced some truly 'great' days! So hang in there...yours will come!

I can say that for some months now I have being feeling great. I have cut my work down to part-time, given up having to feel in control of life and started on Cipramil for some depression. It has helped with the fatigue and since being on my Rebif inj I have not had any new symptoms. I have the occassional things that "P" me off but my attitude to life since this has changed and I think it is really helping me too!

At the moment I love life and have gotten rid of anything that does not work for me.

I forgot what feeling good is like. LOL, I always thought I was just get old,or working to hard. and the numbness, it may come or go. my right hand has been numb for 8 months now, and all my nuro could say is. (i don't think, your condemed to that).

Yes there are good days. Days when, except for the numbness in my feet and stiffness of my legs, I feel normal. Of course, there seem to be more bad days as that is what we tend to focus on, but when the days are good they are GREAT and I appreciate them so much. So, yes they are few and far between but they are there, probably just to remind you that things are not always going to be as bad as they now seem! Keep hope and faith. Keeps life interesting!

I think the name of the game is "stable". Once I have gotten over 'I will never be the same person I once was' and to be happy what I have. I'm ok.

Today I am happy, content, living life as best as I can. I have more good days than bad. If I'm have a bad day, I think where I was and knowing it could be much worse.

What will happen in the future no one knows so live for today not in the past.

I feel good (well) for the way I feel. I am used to symptoms, so they are part of me. Most of time, unless I have allergies or have overdone, I feel good enough.

Overall I feel good, emotions up and down I feel that at times I am grieving for the unknown. Numbness in a.m. fatigue on some days other than that doing fine.
