PIP claim disappointment

This is just a little rant... PIP. What a waste of time! My decision letter arrived and the report wasn't even close to what I wrote and spoke about in the assessment. It doesn't even reflect the letter I sent in supporting evidence from my neurologist. It's left me feeling like I've been complete...

What supplements are y'all into?

Hoping this will be a fun, informational thread! They may not have the same effect (or no effect 😅) on everyone, but I'm curious of people's experiences. So besides the good ol' vitamin D, what supplements strike your fancy?

Steroids - new NICE guidance?

I am currently taking steroid tablets over 5 days at home. Those were prescribed by GP (it wasn't easy to get prescription) for very serious relapse - I wasn't able to walk. What is concerning, that my MS nurse advised me not to take them, only wait and see, maybe it will improve by itself! And that...

I recently received a gift of CBD gummys from a friend who has seen people with MS really benefit from it. I wanted to try it as an alternative to the Baclofen that leaves me feeling spaced out and confused. I’ve been taking tadalafil for years as part of treatment for priapism. The mix of the CBD ...

Who is interested in joining a zoom call for Ireland based people? I would love to see some faces and maybe meet someone in person for a coffee one day. MS Ireland used to organise these meetings and cafe chats but they stopped with the pandemic.
