Ciao Ciao (in solidarity with our Italian friends), - Apologies for the lateness. 3 key things have happened at Chez Shadbolt 1- It is an amazingly sunny day near Oxford (UK) 2- We went for a 10km walk by the Thames and over some hills, it was utterly lovely 3- I forgot to eat breakfast so upon gett...

Hi all, So four weeks ago I was happily plodding along in life and here I am posting about my story with MS so far. Through September and October I was having an extremely stressful time at work, to the point where I had threatened to resign out of principle. That all worked out in the end but on ...

Hello everyone I hesitate to post this, since I know a lot of people are struggling with relapses and all sorts of problems, but if I can't say it here, then where can i share? My latest MRI was, in the words of my taciturn and overworked GP "estable", which I think can be understood by the anglo...

Glad to be here as I'm the kind of person who gets stuck into research and support from as early on as possible.

Morning y'all (technically it is the afternoon but I am well behind and had planned this out for a morning post so y'all still get the American solidarity greeting). - The last loaf of bread was an unmitigated disaster and have been attending - with very limited success - to that. I am trying to sal...

Hey friends, I’m just a bit frustrated at the moment and am seeking some solidarity and maybe advice from those who have been through what I’m dealing with 🌸 I started taking gabapentin last year to help manage my pain, despite the fact that it wasn’t managing my pain at all, I was discouraged from...
