    I'm currently in the process of being diagnosed with MS. My neurologist said that it's what I have, but he has to have a few more tests done so he can have all the proof he needs to make the actual diagnosis. So right now my life is a series of doctors appointments, explaining to managers why I'm having to miss work, and learning what my symptoms are and how to deal with them. I'm trying. But it's affecting my work attendance. Like, I've had to miss because one symptom is awful migraines, and I have medicine to help, but there are days when absolutely nothing helps and I can't breathe and I just have to stay home; I work in a call center, so having customers talk directly in my ear all day is not plausible when my head is throbbing and I'm in so much pain I can't breathe.

    Does anyone have MS? Can you explain what exactly it is? I've done research but it's all new and confusing, and I want someone who actually knows what it's like to maybe tell me what it is, what it does, what to expect, how you manage it. I would appreciate it. Thank you!
