Re: multiple sclerosis
I have ms I can't say I've ever found many services I'm afraid. Even aids like crutches and wheelchair we have had to buy ourselves.Re: multiple sclerosis
Thanks Julie - sorry to hear you have MS. I'm told there are certain benefits or grants you can claim, but these are subject to medical reports............I'd like to know the medical state you need to be in to try and gauge if the benefit would be paid or not, AND to make sure the goalposts don't change in the future.Re: multiple sclerosis
The MS society focuses on emotional support (via local groups) and funds research. They don't provide care as far as I know. I know someone with the milder form of MS who works there when she's up to travelling to London. She's in her '60s now. There are quite a few with MS who volunteer there. I think they have a helpline. My friend who has the aggressive progressive form is on gene therapy but it's not helping. He developed it in his early 60s. I had another friend who died in his 30s of the same after being diagnosed as a teen. You have more support if you have the aggressive form but it's not that great. With the milder form they expect you to just get on with life it seems.Re: multiple sclerosis
