Hello, my name is Sheridan and I am 29 years old, I got diagnosed with RRMS 6 months ago at the age of 28 and it has certainly been the worst 6 months of my life but I feel like I have turned a corner now and trying to get back to my old self. I work as a dental practice manager, I am currently planning my wedding and I have a kitten called Digger who my fiance got for me 2 days after my first Ocrevus infusion and he has helped me so much since diagnosis. I love connecting with other people on social media with MS as this helps me feel reassured and less alone. If anyone else likes to use their accounts in the same way then please connect with me, we are all ms fighters and can do anything together! My Instagram name is @sheridanallison
Hi Sheridan,
Good work getting on here after only 6 months. Its taken me 3 years to be ready to engage. My life totally fell apart during and after my diagnosis but in a great place now. The quicker you can accept your diagnosis the better! Ocralizumab (Ocrevus) has been an excellent treatment for me so far. Hopefully it works well for you too! Best, K
Hi Sheridan,
Sorry about diagnosis but glad you found us.
Lots of chat on the site but also local groups meet up for exercise, talks and coffee.
My local group are meeting for a Christmas meal this weekend. If Boris lets us! It’s usually a good laugh.
Take care of yourself.
Jen
