Travel Insurance

Could anyone recommend an insurance provider who is reasonable? I am having difficulty finding a provider who won't gouge me because of my diagnosis.

I got diagnosed a month ago after a 2 year long struggle of not knowing what was wrong, now I have that diagnosis I feel like an imposter, like I’m not “unwell” enough to say I have MS. I’ve also been in denial about it pretty much since I was told. Has anybody else had this? If so how do I stop these feelings?

I’m still walking and working, but get tired easily, and I still drive, just with a blue badge in the car. So,...

Recently diagnosed and my life just took a drastic turn

it’s been rough since the diagnosis. My relationship ended because of it, even if it wasn’t the only reason. A lot of little things stacked up, but when things got tough, she left. Just moved out over the weekend let her keep the apartment. I’ve been trying to reach out to the MS community, see if I...

AITA

I’ve got my first appt tomorrow with the MS nurse, I’ve read up on DMTs and pretty much made my decision.
