Hi Mark Welcome to the forum, everyone here will be very welcoming 
you can have a moan or even a rant, ask questions open a discussion & someone will always reply I think most of us go through what you have I know I did for a very long time & Ive been diagnosed 18+ yrs it’s called denial 
but you soon accept it & get through it with help from people who know what it is were going through Again welcome Sue x

Hi Mark.
I’m in my forties, a grumpy Geordie and was diagnosed last September but had the symptoms for quite a while and eventually decided enough was enough and had to get this things seen to. It was a relief to get a name for what I had (PPMS) but it’s been no bed of roses since.

We’re all in this together, even though it’s not for the best reasons.
Have a good Easter and keep popping in to see the latest top tips!

Hi Mark
Welcome to the forum
I was diagnosed four years ago and I still work 30 hours pw in admin and do some ad hoc typing from home for a second income to make ends meet. Sorry to hear about your job but hopefully it will be better for your health. I can’t imagine working 60 hrs pw, I have to have a sleep every afternoon after sitting on my backside for 6 hours!!
This is a good place to share your experiences and have a good rant when you need to or to ask for support. There is always someone to pitch in and brighten your day.
Take care
