Citalopram

Hi. I'm just about to start taking Citalopram. My GP has said to take it in the evening but I've read that it can keep you awake so I'm wondering if it would be better to take in the morning. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

Disclosing in a new job

Hey all, I'm fairly newly diagnosed (May 2023 I think), I started a new job a few weeks ago and I didn't tick the disabled box on my application for a few reasons: 1. I wanted to get the job on my own merit. 2. I didn't have many symptoms and was hoping it would stay that way for a while. However,...

MS Sessions 2024?

Hi all, I've been around for a while now. Dx 2009 if you can believe it. There's useful information in my old posts. Should be reasonably easy to find. I remember Prague in 2016. That was great fun. And then Bucharest in 2019. George might remember all those little bottles of Palinka. Fun times. ...

UTI’s and MS

Are you all aware of the potential impact of a UTI on your MS? I only had my awareness of this raised while listening to a podcast by Gavin Giovannoni from the MS Selfie group. This information explained a lot based on the fact I had had five UTIs in 2022, and I was completely unaware of the poten...
