Hey all, Massive gratitude to the NHS and the wonderful Neurologist Prof. Gavin Giovannani.

Hi guys, I've just been diagnosed with RRMS last week after previously having a clinically isolated syndrome about a year prior. I feel I've got off pretty lightly so far (numb left foot and pins and needles in my fingers) but I've been reading up on treatments etc. The MS nurse is currently recom...

I've been at home recovering for nearly 2 weeks now, mostly concentrating on the physio exercises I was given and trying to retrain my bladder after the onslaught known as chemotherapy. It was qui...

Hi everyone. Not been on here for a while, I have been busy raising money, obtaining visas for my hsct in Moscow. Unbelievably I have raised over forty grand in two months! Not bad for a 46 year old man that lives in rural southern Spain and hasn't spent his years being a people pleaser. Any way the...

Are there any ms’rs on here that have had the hsct treatment? I’m planning to get it done. I want to hear some suggestions, do’s and dont’s. Etc. Was it a success for you? What is your life like now? What was it like before? Is it worth the money?
