Hi all, hope you are keeping well and safe in these unusual times. I am newly diagnosed in March, first symptoms 18 months ago and 1 minor relapse 6 months ago. Other than that I am lucky not to have any symptoms of note. I discussed with my MS nurse DMT drugs early March and my neurologist recom...

Diagnosed in December 19, after private MRI, as a result of my acupuncture Dr recommending it. Went into hospital with suspected tumour on the spine. Another MRI and CT and just before I left, the Consultant told me that I had MS. I left hospital in a daze, thinking of wheelchairs, dribbling and bl...

I know it's a 'different' post, but I need your help and / or advice. for my ex-fiancée I turned my back on all my acquaintances, I sold my house, I did everything to make her happy, but she left me in 2017 and now I don't have anyone to even talk to, not even family. I need a friend or acquaintance...

I suffer from depression which is believed to be due to MS, so I take 50mg Sertraline a day. As I have been extremely down the past few days my partne...

Hi all, what’s the lowdown on stairlifts? Is the consensus to get one? I am very fortunate to have enough rooms in my house to make a bedroom downstairs & we are having our large utility/ cloakroom converted into a wetroom. I’m undecided whether to get a stairlift as well to prolong my sleeping ...

Hello all, Well I don't know where to begin!? Guess I should start here. Joined this site nearly 4 years ago just after I was diagnosed. I have had this thing approximately 20 years. Not on any medication, not that there seems to be much, the same as help with this - not much. I suppose when I w...
