People living with multiple sclerosis reluctant to seek help

[@dlmqsd]

Those that seek help aren't taken seriously. I've seen people have to chase their MS nurse for months despite scans saying they need to be seen urgently.

I had my MRI notes destroyed and since 2009 lived daily with a GP telling me that I can die any day my list is endless .I worked in our NHS. for years and handed in my notice it wasn't accepted because I cared......My GP now has told me that Leicester NHS will never ever help me .

For almost 30 years now. MS is my secret. I do not tell anyone about it other than close family, some of whom did not believe me. I did lose everything at 35 as i was despondent and turned to drugs. I no longer drink alchol or do any drugs, i am hoping that will ally my symptoms from coming back. I have been fired for being suspected of intoxication a couple of times due to slurred speech or loss of balance. I still kept my silence. I am a survivor, so far, and I look forward to life as a gift. MS = my secret.

I can't tell anyone. I will lose my job. My employer will just replace me.

[@briankeyes268]

@@LucyLane07 agree. Sadly true.

I have fought MS for over 50 years no meds ever to slow it down I am 100 per cent Living proof in the UK .Living proof via George Ebers and Matt Embry uncover MS truths.

Exactly NONE of her "issues" prevents her from eating healthy and exercising. Two things she obviously chooses NOT to do.

A plant-based diet and not being severely overweight helps.

[@happyweekend2343]

Obese might be factor to developing MS, its not genetic according to research or inherited. Being overweight doesn't help either and research has shown Excerise can help MS.

[@happyweekend2343]

@@alexidoityourself2917 Its not tho, there has been evidence based research to suggest its not genetically passed down.

Worse thing a person can do. I still eat broccoli, a few tree nuts, and occasionally a few dried apricots, but since going on a meat-heavy diet, I can feel my hands again.

[@amarx6248]

Been listening to Christina Applegate’s and Jaime Sigler’s podcast MesSy that talks about their experiences with MS.

My son has MS. He has the progressive.

Lose weight that will help tremendously

[@mjstefansson7466]

I've shopped at M&S

[@Durace11Bunny]

Same here, I went in there to try and exchange my MS for a packet of crisps....

[@RussellTurner]

My ten year old calls mine M&S.
