PhD = Done

Hi All, Just thought I'd let you all know that last week, despite this cursed disease, starting tech 6 months ago and 3 years of study without being diagnosed, I submitted my PhD with a month to spare! I'm not looking for any congratulations, but just wanted to share some good news :)

Now I walk with a stick. It is difficult to come to terms with, but I am blessed with a great clinical tea...

Send pictures of cats!

I thought I knew #ChronicPain ( and I don't mean being unable to score some sticky Icky) Then, during a month long attack of #sciatica (not my first) I developed a fucked ankle (not a medical term) - presumably #MS #spasticity in the peroneal muscle (shin/calf - not per_I_neal!).

Good morning 😁

After Mr Musk ruined Twitter, I’m here to find my old MS pals and gain some new ones. I was diagnosed six years ago, I’ve been on Ocrevus and now Kesimpta (which I don’t find helpful at all). I’m working on my PhD looking at foot and lower limb health in people with MS (I’m a Podiatrist). I’m here f...
