New to the group.

High there, I have had benign MS for 32 years. Finally decided to stop pretending there is nothing wring with me. I take tablets and listen to my Doctors but tend to keep myself to myself re MS. So hello everyone. Gareth

However, it seems I had a relapse in Septem...

A little rant

Hi everyone, I guess I'm just looking to vent to people who understand, my family keep shutting down my thoughts and tell me to wait for the next mri.
