Welcome

I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and have been learning how to cope with this disease the hard way. I am writing this blog in order to share my experiences which may be of help to other people.

MS is a very common disease. It is both cruel and debilitating and if you have it you are quite likely to become depressed, therefore, fight the system as much as you can. This applies to people who have MS or people who are related/care for someone with MS.

I was diagnosed with MS in 1992 and now have severe secondary progressive MS so I have years of experience of having to fight doctors/information/“normal is OK, abnormal is not”. The Disability Discrimination Act is making things slightly better but attitudes are more difficult to change – I know how unaware I was of people’s problems before I was diagnosed with MS so I can see how common this is.
