Finally good news
A bit of a brain dump but finally something good is happening.
I have had a couple of appointments with the MS nurses and I start Kesimpta in a couple of weeks. I feel like I have spent the last few months waiting around for a diagnosis and now I actually get to start taking control of my MS. Anyone else on Kesimpta, what are your experiences with it?
I also had a physio appointment and have been given exercises to manage the issues with my legs which will hopefully improve my walking. Does anyone else do physio (to help with walking, or any other general physiotherapy), have you found it helps, doesn’t help, or any other thoughts?
I’m almost afraid to be optimistic in case something else bad happens, since I’ve had so much bad luck recently and I’m trying to leave my job to do something less stressful. I think leaving my job now is a bad idea as I am still so emotional about my diagnosis, but I just can’t keep up with it.
What sort of jobs do you do? Im currently a teaching assistant in an SEN department but have been struggling for a long time and need to get out of education. I’m scared to leave as I am so newly diagnosed and am afraid of being turned away from anywhere new. Any advice on MS and work - should I tell potential employers I have MS, should I wait until after getting a position to say I have MS? What are your thoughts and experiences?
There's no one size fits all in this situation. I chose not to share with job I started 2 yrs ago until my 3 month probation had elapsed. I wanted my new work colleagues to get to know me as an individual and my performance rather than seeing me as Karen with MS. My colleagues have been supportive from the moment I shared.
