A "fait accompli"..my new reality?

Heya, Don't know if i have a question, statement or observation. Or all of the above. During these last 2 years, things really took a turn for the worse, ms wise. And subsequently, psychologically as well. No major relapses, but clearly a steady decline. And new meds, which cause side-effects that a...

Aircon in the uk?

Hi, anyone in the uk got aircon? Built in or portable I’d like to know how much these are and which portable ones are decent as I know they cost less. I physically can’t stand this heat any longer I’ve never been so uncomfortable. Sleeping outside has become a genuine consideration and I’m at wits e...

DOES THIS POEM CONNECT WITH HOW YOU FEEL?

I always try to look for the positives when it comes to MS, but occasionally I slip into a dark place, like when I wrote this poem that was originally published on the MS Society website. I was worried about my steady deterioration and thought I may be progressing from RRMS to Secondary (my neuro di...

I was diagnosed when I was 27 and was fine till I had a really stressful time , losing my mum and dad and a baby at 34 weeks , that was 5 years ago and just can’t seem to get back to where I was , I trip over constantly resulting in many falls the last one ended up in busting my hand up and breaking my engagement ring , I know it’s only a ring but just feel like I’m falling apart, also bad coughing fits for no reason where I actually thought I was going to pass out !

Checking in...

Recently, I've been dealing with a major case of fatigue. And I'm sure it's because of the SoCal heat 🔥 we've been having. But today, all my symptoms are hitting me all at once. Fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, my tinnitus and neuropathy. All of it. Some days, I don't know how I get through. It's har...

When I originally went my eyes were fine and I went back for a follow up ...

NHS lumbar puncture

How long did you have to wait for the results from your lumbar on the NHS? It’s been 4 weeks today, I’ve asked for the results but been told they won’t tell me until my next in person appointment in another 4 weeks
