Hi all,
Well, I had my first appt with the MS specialist yesterday. I took my husband and mum with me for support, and to ask questions I forgot!
It went really well, and have been offered interferon betas, starting in the next few weeks. I opted for the autoinjector which I will do three times a week. This suits my lifestyle and the side effects are pretty minimal.
I also discussed my bladder urgency, and he is sending a letter to my GP to start medication for this too.
Advise was given regarding exercise, and swimming, walking, yoga etc are best, due to the fact that I shouldn’t let my body overheat!
I will see the consultant every year, and my MS nurse every six months. I was also given advise on how to spot new relapses, so that’s good to know.
All in all, a very positive appt!
