Going out

I went to a local gig today and I was thinking how different your priorities are when you have MS. Pre MS days all I bothered about was the price of the booze and that they had good tunes on the juke box. If them the drinks were cheap and there was rock or meal playing, then I was a happy chap. Now...

Help Scotland!

Has anyone from Scotland gone privately for a diagnosis? I am looking to see if this is an option for me to avoid the horrendous waiting times for appointments. I am quickly going out of my mind 🥴

My question is can physio help with heels ie use a stick or some informat...

Pseudo-relapse

Hi all, had a bit of a scary experience on Tuesday. Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t walk, fell over when I got up and couldn’t move my legs. I’ve been suffering from the flu and am under a lot of stress, an MS nurse told me it was most probably a pseudo-relapse. But this has totally ...

Living to work

I was diagnosed at the beginning of this year (RRMS) but have, no doubt, been living with it for many years, given that it was only when I developed my 21st lesion that I was diagnosed. I work full time in the edtech sector as a Learning Designer - but, thankfully, its a remote position so I am in ...

I've not had a drink in a while, I had a blow out the other week.. I feel it's really set me back even over a week later, I know it can cause internal damage brain shrinkage. I don't like the hangovers or really going out. I'd rather do something in the day time. Think my clubbing days are over, but...

Insecure

I can't shake the feeling that im being a burden on others. For example, I don't like going out and about with groups as I'm conscious I'm slow and I get tired. I can't really walk great uphill and downhill is a bit tricky too People say they don't mind and I'm sure they don't but I feel sad
