Positively Pissed Off

I am by myself again at work. Started at 2:30 pm, was expecting someone to come in at 4-4:30, but they haven’t come in yet.

Spreading hope and positivity :)

Since being diagnosed with MS in August 2021, which was 1 month before starting my final year at college (year 13), I had nearly lost all hope in my future and the goals I always wanted to achieve. I would always ask myself why now? A few weeks before starting the year with all its ups downs. Went ...

Disabled but not disabled enough- venting

Hi MSers, Hope you are well. In the UK MS is a disability by law. Such as certain cancers and HIV, if you didn't know we are protected by the Equality Act. I have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and I am not in a wheel chair. However, I have difficulties walking but you won't really notic...

I started ms treatment July 2022 and as per procedure I should have a further mri. The neurologist was not planning on doing this until she confirme...

I’m very new to this MS life and im trying to learn more. Also with flare ups and relapses do those symptoms tend to stop at some point? I know ever...
