It s PROBABLY me being stupid but does this forum have a feature that tells you where members are in the world. Just thought it useful, to see if some have better care, waiting times etc. For example when you read that someone is experiencing the same level of incompetance care as you. You could check their profile and see that they live in the Midlands etc.

The thing about forums like this is that many people feel much happier being more anonymous. This doesnāt always mean answering posts anonymously, it can just be as simple as not wanting to be easily identified. It helps many people to be completely honest about some rather sensitive subjects. So thereās no shortcut to geographic location.

I live on the Fylde Coast in the North West, started off attending Blackpool Victoria Hospital but then they relocated the Neurology department to Preston Royal where I now go, albeit rather infrequently.
Iām in Somerset my gp referred me to Musgrove hospital in Taunton but for some reason they placed me in Yeovil.
Iām in Epsom, Surrey.
Iāve got an excellent MS Nurse and a great GP who ājust does what the MS Nurse saysā.
Epsom hospital has all of the specialist departments I have needed in the last seven years.
Iām not that bothered about anonymity. Once MS arrives you leave your dignity behind; and you never get it back.

We can put our location on our profiles, if we wish to.
Im in Elland West Yorkshire and go to Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax. Ive also been to Huddersfield Royal.

Agree with that. It would be good to just have a geographical area shown. Iām in the Irish Republic and have to remember that there is a difference in the HSE/NHS etc when Iām rabbiting on.
Didnāt know I can put that in my profile Poll. Iāll go and try that now. 
Doh.
Have set the time zone to Dublin, but canāt see how to do anything else really. Canāt even find how to do an Avatar. :-/

I can change the time-zone of your account, if youād like me to? Unfortunately adding your location is on the āedit profileā page which is currently not working/loading at the moment, hopefully be fixed soon though.

Time zone isnāt the problem Oliver, thank you. Just need the"edit profile" fixed please.
Iām in Wigan (North West England), I attend an MS Therapy centre in Wigan and my Neurologist and MS nurse are based at Salford Royal Hospital.
Juls
Wotcha,
I am in West Sussex and have attended various hospitals in the area but to see a neurologist I trust I go to Kings College Hospital (NHS) in London
