Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi all just joined the group, had my 1st attack 4 years ago and just had another so diagnosis seems confirmed now. Basically, all I want to do is find someone who's had ms for a few years but still manages to lead a fairly normal life i.e. working etc. The messages I get from the medical professsion are all so negative including a ms nurse telling me 4 years ago that I'd probably be too disabled to work in 5 years (I have RRMS)and the last GP I saw said there was no point in me seeing a neurologist as there is nothing they can do. I know of 1 woman in my town who is in her 50's, has ms but seems in good shape and is still able to work but I haven't tried to speak to her yet. Anyway, thank you to anyone who takes the time to reply to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hello , Welcome to the group. MS affets everyone differently. This group gives great advice. When I was first diagnosed, my doctor told me I would be in a wheelchair in two years and dead within five. That was in 1978. I've outlived him. I still walk with a walker. I still run a writing workshop. I worked full time up until three years ago. The only drug I've ever taken is LDN. I take supplements and watch my diet. As members say, I have MS, it doesn't have me.
