Hi all do I. Need to inform dvla of this diagnosis. My left gaze double vision has now almost rectified and I feel fine. Also do I have to inform car insurer ? Thanks in advance. This stuff really does turn your life upside down somewhat. Now I’m thinking travel insurance and allsorts of stuff. Emma
Hi Empielou
Glad you are feeling fine!
Yes - tell your insurer. Although when I told mine they werent really interested. Just made a note on my records.
It does turn your life upside down but in a weird way, you get used to it. Or at least I have. It hasnt really impacted our travel insurance as yet (not that we have really travelled out of Europe) hubby and I both have MS so I expected that to have a huge impact on insurance. Fortunately not - yet.

You’ll need to inform the dvla. That’ll probably change your licence to a 3 yr one. They send you the forms when it’s due for renewal so you havent got to remember! You be insured for MS if you have a diagnosis and suffer a relapse on holiday, My RRMSgnosed in 2005, 3 months after my cis when I had my 2nd attack aRRMR RM.Ive been lucky with fairly slow progression. This yr I notified my banks ‘free’ insurance and had to pay £75 extra but I think there are other options out there I’ll look into next year.
