Honesty

Honesty..... People tell me to be honest about where I am with my ms. I try to do that, but my problem just now is being honest with myself. I am struggling with work. My colleagues are very supportive and they say that they understand, but my thinking is how can they understand when I don't unde...

So last Tuesday was my last day as they are paying me my notice in lieu along with all my leave which I h...

I've read that it can trigger symptoms due to boosting the immune system, but when I recently started ocrevus lots of people were recommended it to prevent inf...
