Hi I'm Andy 50 M from South East London UK.
I was diagnosed in 1991. My diagnosis was extremely quick as my mother, who also has MS, asked her neurologist to see me. I had an MRI Scan and returned for the positive result. Mum drove me and came to the appointment. She asked me where I wanted to go. I chose to be dropped off at the pub where I went to drink shit loads of Brandy before facing my diagnosis the next day.
I've had various treatments in the past and am currently on Ocralizumab infusions.
People often ask "is it working"? The honest answer that I don't know! I have no idea where I would be without them.
Anyway stay positive guys as "It could be far worse!"
I have an extremely supportive partner, who suffers with EDS and we find that the best medicine is laughing and joking about the various bizarre symptoms that we each suffer.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
Great post
One massive positive point regarding my partner is that since we met she has had two partial knee replacements (titanium) so her scrap value is through the roof! LMAO
