Relapsing-remitting

I was only recently diagnosed with MS and found to have this form, and must admit that I'm finding it hard to come to terms with. Does anyone know of any counselling support through the NHS that can help with this? e.g. MS nurses etc?

Relapsing, Remitting

Temporary memory loss is common for me. I try to stay positive. As a great post once said; Never admit to having an illness. Unfortunately the lack of admission only works when you feel good.

We've got this...

It struck me this weekend that people with MS are actually probably particularly well equipped to deal with the coronavirus outbreak. Compared to the rest of the population, we are all used to: - Being stuck in limbo, nobody can ever tell us how long something will last and if it will be permanent,...
