New here 👋🏻

I've been given an informal diagnosis of MS by my GP based on my recent MRI. He said I'd need to see a neurologist for a formal diagnosis and maybe more tests. I've had my letter through for my neurology appointment but its not until January. Safe to say I'm feeling down about it. 4 more months of s...

UK NHS strikes

The media announced yesterday that the junior doctors and the consultants will strike on Monday 2nd October here in the UK. My infusion date is the same date 😢. I guess I’ll get cancelled, unless the strike is called off because needs are met. Does anyone know what happens if they are cancelled. Ho...

Fatigue

So I’ve been out of work for almost 5 days and have some crazy fatigue and my doctor says this is not a flare. But I’m having a hard time going to work it’s all I can do is go to bed go to the sofa and go to the bathroom and then I wanna go back to bed so if this is a flare what is it?
