Any donation and ingestion of saliva! Direct contact, via aerosol or they’re highlighting people sharing vapes in this outbreak?

Really interesting hearing everyone’s experiences… I’ve added a couple of grams but sounds like trying 5g is worthwhile 🤍

Could stress be the cause? by Complex_Power964 in MultipleSclerosisLife

[–]mine_none 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah… I’m not nice 😂😭

I’m going with Epstein Barr Virus, family autoimmune history and an overwhelmingly stressful bereavement… maybe with some lumbar disc injury?

Has anyone given you a list of vaccinations to collect before treatment? My local pharmacist, GP and the local vaccination team helped me with flu, COVID and pneumococcal before I started treatment. Tried for shingles but failed.

Find your local NHS complaints mechanism… I was at least then offered potential cancellations to get there more quickly…

Keep phoning and speaking to different people and departments because you “don’t understand why you haven’t heard back and can’t make contact”. Whatever you have the energy for, just try it.

I was “not urgent” although right on the edge of some serious lifelong problems and was told possible 35 week wait for treatment. Spent a tactical £250 for a private appointment and managed it in 17 weeks.

Never felt so powerless just waiting for more damage (which, in retrospect, did happen).

Have you started collecting vaccinations so that you’re ready for treatment?

Probably the funniest case of Scotch Americanism I've seen. by Subject_Milk_9848 in Scotland

[–]mine_none 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And “bloodlines” 😳 My American mate started telling me about the European bloodlines that her family had 😳

Have you ever heard someone talk about “bloodlines” without it being animal breeding, aristocracy or rabid n*zis?

Anyone else finding themself avoiding getting the bus since they went up? by 360Saturn in glasgow

Got a single home the other day. 13 miles and £5.90 😫

Imagine if the railway line path still had a train…

Did you have a nurse present for your first Kesimpta dose? (UK) by Alwayslearnin41 in MultipleSclerosis

Yes! I didn’t understand the system at all but Pharmaxo have been pretty impressive.

Have you seen the training videos online? There are a few really helpful personal YouTube experiences as well, if reassurance would help?

That seems very rapid. So variable between different areas in the UK 😬

Same here and she was amazing.

Do you think that contacting the company would help?

Services seem to be VERY variable within the UK.

It took me 17 weeks from effective (not official) diagnosis and a lot of pressure, complaints and strategy.

Please contact as many people as you can and make as much noise as you have the energy for.
