Everything to be honest, but most of all the severe headaches and migraines and the almost constant neck pain

It seems like one of the downfalls of ms. I used to be in severe pain with headaches. Luckily for me they are rare at the moment. Anyone else suffer tiredness. I could sleep and sleep still feel worn out. Xx

I sometimes have a tiredness that comes over me like a wave. Not the sort of tiredness due to hard work or lack of sleep or boredom, but an overwhelming feeling. I describe as if every cell in my body is tired. Frustrating for someone who likes to be busy.

Feeling really nervous of going out ,nobody seems to bother about the guidelines ,our priminister hasnt a clue he says it safe to go in beer gardens but its not safe in your own garden ,it just doesnt make sense we have this pandemic all over the world and yet they still cant find a vaccine to cure it why there are scientists all over the world and yet not one of them cant find a cure there is certainly something wrong somewhere, one minute they say wear a mask then dont so how on earth do we know what the guidelines are fed up with it all they havent a clue what they are doing they might just as well say get on with your life ,because before long people will start rebelling i have been in isolation for 5 months now and it is like being caged up ,i have so many illnesses that im scared to venture out anywhere because i know if i get it that will be my end ,September im so looking forward to doing a charity stall for breast cancer now, but im still worried about that ,somebody has to tell us properly what to do instead of just saying things when they feel like it its pathetic our country will be on its knees because they cant say something and stick to it i have had 2 telephone calls from 2 specialist, i am supposed to see a gastroenterologist, ear specialist, blood tests and i have been on a waiting list for talking therapies for nearly 2 yrs and i havent heard anything ah well thats my rant done for today my mental health is rocketing and nobody gives a dam Tiger xxx

@LindaBlacker I respect your opinion but I do worry about this idea, if you get it, you get. On an individual basis that is great, you may be lucky and have no or mild symptoms, you may even gain a degree of antibodies and immunity.

However on a community basis this is a selfish attitude, what if you get it and spread it to more at risk people?

I know there are some extremely selfish people who even think it's only the elderly dying, near death anyway so why should we care

Also a strange attitude for someone on this site, I have underlying health conditions and don't fancy being extremely ill and would rather die than be on a mechanical ventilator

Remember the saying, worse things in life than death.
