Nearly new newby at 57

Diagnosed in December 19, after private MRI, as a result of my acupuncture Dr recommending it. Went into hospital with suspected tumour on the spine. Another MRI and CT and just before I left, the Consultant told me that I had MS. I left hospital in a daze, thinking of wheelchairs, dribbling and blue badges. I didn’t tell my wife and children until after Christmas, didn’t want to ruin it for them. Follow up from the hospital was slow but with Christmas and the new year, everyone is entitled to a life! Started Tec in March, no side effects, no miracles, just the same. I feel like I am wearing boxing gloves, that have sand in them and wobble in the afternoon. My family call me Parker, from the 60s Thunderbird puppet. I feel the need for all around me to take the Micky out of my symptoms. It works for me, anyway.

Hi Fred and welcome, like you I am a late diagnosee.....63 in my case....3 years ago, also like you I am on Tec...but get flushes irrespective of what or how much I eat. I don't let my MS have power over me...I have it - it doesn't have me! Keep your chin up and our spirits high. Brendan
