Hi, That’s a lot to deal with in four years. And just when you were learning how to cope with one blow along came another one. What type of MS have you been diagnosed with? What were your symptoms? Regards, Anthony ---

Hi Murphy, you can count on all of us to understand, and all of us need to let rip every now & again. Just pop in here whenever you want, to ask, to receive or to understand others’ frustrations. We understand the frustrations of MS and can rant, un-judged by the fab group of people here. Look after YOU Chrissie ---
