Hi Sarah, you should be guided by the MS team as to whom and when to inform - it all depends on the assessment and severity of your condition. In my experience, the insurance company was not too interested, and thankfully nothing changed on my policy, but I was required to update the DVLA who issued me with a form to complete and a slightly restricted licence for three years. My status will be reassessed in three years, which I believe is standard practice. Sadly I am no longer eligible to drive an articulated lorry LOL!! As if I wanted to.... It is all a bit scary I know as I initially feared I may be asked to adapt my car. Good luck Knotty
Hi Knotty and thankyou for your reply.. I'm at a loss as to no who to inform really as since my app with neurologist in Feb he just basically said as I've had the 1 symptom(right sided facial numbness) he said until I have anymore he classed it as clinical isolated syndrome.. no MS team follow up just to go back in June for another MRI! But thankyou again for taking the time to read and reply! Keep well Sarah
