Just come back from my annual trip to see the consultant neuro. l have had ms for 30yrs - after diagnosis l went 26yrs before seeing another - so for the last 4yrs l have had an annual appointment and seen someone different each time. This is the first time l have actually met one that knows anything about ms and its problems. He is all for me taking LDN - knows the benefits and also the same with Sativex. He could not understand why l had never seen a MS Nurse or had neuro-physiotherapy. So he is arranging this for me. He discussed seeing a orthotist about my foot-drop. l use a SAFO - but would like to be able to try a WalkAide - this all depends on ‘funding’ - but at least the cogs are now moving. l have a date for my ‘hip replacement op’ early April - so he could see how important it is for me to be able to walk better with my ms leg. He was surprised that l walked [with a rollator] at all seeing as my ms leg has no movement at all and l have to hitch up and drag it along. So its wait and see and hope he is going to set things in motion.
And there was me thinking ‘this is going to be another waste of time’.
