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 ...

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
