Burn out

Has anyone heard of 'MS burn out', ? My neurologist thought that this was where I was at, about 2 years ago. Whereby the patient doesn't get worse NOR become any better, just remaining as you are. Here I've found although having to go private (cos going public is an absolute disaster) I read with most of you, you have an MS team, & an MS nurse who will call to your homes re- assessing how the mser patient is doing. This amazes me to be frank, as it's not happening with those in Ireland (Rep of) 🤔 Thank you in advance. Jane

@jane_watts , MS doesn't "burn out", it goes into remission. A state that we all try to achieve and maintain, where any MS progress is negligible. I take your point about the different care and health services available in different countries. You can always suggest improvements to your elected member of your Oireachtas Éireann.

@stumbler Thank you for your response I appreciate this. At that appointment my neurologist claimed 'this is another form with MS', I did argue politely then & there, but he felt 'oh yes it just seems to burn out'. I knew in my heart of hearts this had to be codswallop. Or using physiologists tactics (sorry don't mean to offend anyone) I've suffered many relapses, obviously got to know myself when in remission so the fairy tale of burn out never came into the equation for me. Stumbler I genuinely appreciate your reply, as you spoke my thoughts on this for a very long time thank you. As regards government.... Lol.... Our nurses are striking on different dates I back them 100%. That's the corrupt government.....
