Poll 📊 Did your HCP mention progression at diagnosis?

Last month we reached out with an opinion check and asked you if healthcare professionals should discuss progression at diagnosis. While 17% of you said you’d prefer to be told later on, around 75% said yes, you would prefer to be told about progression at diagnosis. In the second of our progression polls we’re finding out what’s actually happening…

Are HCPs talking about progression at diagnosis?

I was directed to the Aus MS society and got the full rundown

They don't know how your particular flavour of MS is going to progress. It's unfair to expect them to commit to a prognosis, they could be equally wrong offering either positive or negative outlook. The HCPs I spoke to only focused on the positive "most people don't get any worse" which I know isn't true, but what would anyone do in that situation?
