Grateful

I just received my diagnosis last Friday and even though the news itself is unfortunate I feel so grateful for how the discussion was handled. I was called to the hospital’s immuno-neurology unit and two neurologists and the MS nurse gave me and my partner 1.5 hours — as much time as we needed to ex...

Hi everyone, I’ve had RRMS for over 20 years. I was diagnosed during a time when Australian TV was flooded with commercials of young women with MS in wheelchairs. So, when I was diagnosed naturally I assumed this was what my future held. Thankfully, I had a tribe of supporters who would not allow ...

Ever been told you should be grateful you’ve been diagnosed now?

Hey guys, this is going to be a rant because I’m in a ranty mood. !!!Content Warning for medical gaslighting!!! A few weeks ago I posted a review of a neurologist who I feel treated me very poorly (I was quite frustrated when I posted it so it was heated I admit). He tried calling me and left a voi...

Newly diagnosed and grateful for any advice

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed about 2 months ago and have been struggling a lot with the mental side of things. I have my first appointment at the NHS MS clinic in May but one of the things that worries me is that my neurologist says it will then be another few months before the treatment begins an...

I'm grateful for MS

It sounds strange to say, but I appreciate how it has taught me to slow down and not take life so seriously. I might not be well and able tomorrow, but I'm feeling really good today and I want to enjoy these days while I have them. ❤

Young with soo much. Yet still grateful

I was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS in 2011, when I was young I was diagnosed with (NF-1) neurofibromatosis. Both rare diseases I unfortunately have both. It is hard because, sometimes some symptoms cant pinpoint, what is causing it and the relationship between two rare autoimmune diseases...

What are you grateful for?

Yes, it might be hard to even entertain the thought of being grateful, when you have such an unpredictable disease. Consider this post a mere excuse to pause everything for a short second, and think of something that you have that shouldn't be given for granted. Because, as we all know but tend to f...

Any advice gratefully received

Hi, my name is Lynne and I am new to this group. I haven't been officially diagnosed with MS yet. The tests I have had so far are all pointing in the direction of eventually getting one though. I only have dissemination in time, not yet in space which is one of the criteria to get an official diagno...

Grateful I don't live in 'Club Med' countries

I love southern Europe but since the MS have realised a) how behind the times they re: disability and b) how much we have to be thankful for in the UK. Holidaying in Greece, Italy and Spain is pretty tricky - so many stepped areas just don't have hand rails. As for ramps - you'll be lucky. I couldn'...

Hi i am newly diagnosed & have just joined this group.

I am having double vision . Booked in to an experienced optician next week. I have read in various formats that certain specific lenses can help with double vision. I mainly get this at night and when I am tired. Does anyone have any suggestions , I would be very grateful.

Hello. I'm having a relapse at the moment - 4 years since my last. I'm on ocrevus.... has anyone relapsed since having it? It's made me feel really sad as I felt like superwoman since having the treatment. I guess it's not a cure though, right! Anyway, I'm waiting on receiving my course of steriods...
