Hello, I’m 37 and was diagnosed with MS this week. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for groups in London or its surroundings that it might be helpful to join and welcoming of new people. The MS Society group in my area (East London) seems to be defunct.
I’ve had lots of love and support from my family, and I’m trying to stay optimistic. But I’d really like to learn more from others who are going through it.
Hi there. I don’t know enough about the ‘Circles’ but there might be one in your area - see link
Happy to share my own experiences of around 19 years with MS and answer questions etc. In brief: diagnosed with RRMS but experiencing gradual worsening of my symptoms the main one of which is walking. I am mobile but use a mobility scooter for anything over around 10 minutes .
Lived in Leyton/Leytonstone for 10 years ( with the daily commute to work in Kings Cross area). Now in central Scotland.
