something specific?

Hi, hoping for some advice - I have emailed my neurologist but waiting a while to hear back so thought I'd see what people on here think. I work as a secondary school teacher. Have been teaching remotely but deciding about returning. This week there is a training day (staggered in small groups) the...

I'd like to hear first or at most second hand an account of what it's like for a PwMS to go through COVID. I'm surprised and a bit concerned that I've not seen one here yet. Either we're very good at shielding, or we tend to die of COVID, or both. Or it's just a quirk of stats, and the rate of inf...

What is it like to have Multiple Sclerosis? MS is a strange disease. It attacks you, from every angle, but some you cannot imagine. If you walked around in a space suit that gave you general MS symptoms you would miss a lot. Basically if you have MS you really should be living on a space station. T...

Sorry in advance ... I just need to vent a little and I thought this would be the right place. It's nice to have a group of people that know what you're going through. I'm seriously on the struggle bus. I've been deemed "high risk" for covid so I've been exiled from my home and banished to my nanna'...

Hello to everyone, I have just joined you. I was initially diagnosed in 2009 with ADEM & thought it was benign MS. I have had ongoing symptoms over recent years which led to a recent MRI showing multiple lesions. The Consultant has diagnosed MS and referred me to Queens Square in London. I ...

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well! I’m feeling a little lost at the moment. I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy 9 weeks ago - unfortunately my epidural was placed in the wrong spot and wasn’t picked up until I went completely numb from the waist down and needed to be moved with a sliding she...

Hi this is the first time I’ve posted on anything but I’ve just got that angry and upset I need to do something. I was diagnosed with rrms in 2018 having symptoms for 3 years. I applied for pip after my last relapse, late last year that got me diagnosed with ataxia that has robed me of my balance I ...
