Slight off topic. Is regular cystitis a symptom of MS? I suffered terribly with this before my pregnancies but have been fine since I had the kids. Strange how things you just accept at the time (we were busy trying, my mum said cystitis was the ‘honeymoon’ illness and my GP seemed to agree) could turn out to be related to this delightful condition. Hope the irony is clear! xx

Question for Chopper - are you a man or a woman? Makes a big difference!
I have a set of twin boys, 16 years old , 17 on January 1st. I was dx in 2004. It’s a little different for me, we adopted them when they were 7 days old from Okinawa, Japan when we were stationed there. So I don’t have any worries about passing MS along to them, just the normal teenage worries lol Greg
Hi annelda72 - UTIs are very common in MS I’m afraid. Many of us suffer from them! Perhaps you need to be referred to a continence nurse or consultant to get some help for this. They can be very debilitating and make you feel really rough. They also have a tendency to worsen MS symptoms whilst you are having one! Hth, Teresa xx
