The blurb says the recipe book focuses on cooking with a disability or chron...

What is 'Chronic Pain'?

I've avoided using the label "chronic pain" because my pain is not really a symptom of my disease. I'm slowly starting to realize I deal with almost constant pain, at least when walking...sometimes when sleeping or sitting, but it's not because of MS directly. My right knee is injured (sports inju...

Anyone else not offered treatment?

Hi everyone, first time posting and I can’t seem to find if anyone has discussed this before, so thought I would ask! I’ve not been offered any DMTs for my MS, and I’m really struggling to understand why. I haven’t met anyone else who hasn’t been put straight on a DMT, so I really don’t understand ...
