Daily symptoms

Fatigue. Brain fog. Pain. Sleep. Mood. Intimacy. These are the MS symptoms patients most often say get dismissed, rushed through, or underreported in the clinic — sometimes because they are hard to describe, sometimes because the 15-minute appointment runs out. These are the questions that put them on the table and open the conversations that actually matter for quality of life.
