Legalisation

I didn’t think MS could still humiliate me. I feel bad about how I’m effecting those around me and how I am going to be a greater burden on my family. I lost it and tore into my wife. I was in such a haze that I can’t remember what I said. I acutely remember the feeling of being mortified. Of c...

I had HSCT September 18 in Russia. Was doing great till I got shingles in summer 19, and a MRI in January 20 confirmed new activity. I’ve been advised by my HSCT doctor to get Rituximab infusions (3-4) to try to put me back in remission. Since Rituximab is not licensed for MS in the UK , I’m struggl...

Rebif and Copaxone are so very yesterday - had them both back in the day - then Tecfidera until Ocrelizumab was licensed back in Dec 18. I had my first hit Jan 5th th...
