Sponsored walk

I am Patrick and I am badly disabled by Multiple Sclerosis to the extent that my balance is atrocious and must use a walking frame. I threw my walking sticks away a few years ago, they were no good. Instead I use a walking frame because it’s better at keeping me upright with my feet on the ground. ...

Negativity

Hi Everyone I’ve had MS a while now but have recently noticed (probably as I’ve recently been walking slower and with a slight limp and have probably been looking more fatigued than usual) that people, who do know me, talk to me in the same way as they would a child and/or can be very patronising....

Suicide

I've had depression since I was a teenager. Now, finally diagnosed with MS, last year, I will get to look forward to when I can no longer fend for myself. Hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, I have worked since I was in highschool. I know that after 35+ years of taxes paid, I am now an elder. I deserv...
