Daily symptoms

Fatigue. Brain fog. Pain. Sleep. Mood. Intimacy. Bladder and bowel. Walking that is getting harder. These are the MS symptoms patients most often say get dismissed, rushed through, or never brought up in the clinic — sometimes because they are hard to describe, sometimes because they are embarrassing, 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.
