This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thanks so much for sharing Dovechick. There is another thread that asks about improved mobility post procedure. Maybe you could respond there.

Val

Val, as much as I like helping people I don't have time to trawl through all the threads as I am spearheading a project in the UK, to get research started here. It is a full time, unpaid, exciting, thankless, demanding, emotional and disappointing at time, constant job... If you can find me a link to this thread I will pass on the info, alternatively pass the link to this thread onto that one and people can come and see the whole story.

Michele, I like the new postscipt - 'Warrior' - very apt!

Pleased you like it Nigel. I was trying to combat the mother image. I am a lot older than most people in our little pressure group and I was being seen as the mother figure... It made me feel old and mumsy... So this is my new image...

I know the feeling.

Perhaps I need to think of something original?

Michelle,
I was thinking for a very long time you were something my age or may be only little bit older and I am 37
Now I think you are younger than me. You can do more than I can.

HI Erika, nice young woman you are... I often feel like I am only 37, unfortunately when I look in the mirror I can see that I am much older than that. I often don't say how old I am people get the wrong idea about you if they think you are past 50. (And I'm a lot past 50) but then I don't have MS or Spina Bifida... I think you are amazing yourself, you have made such a difference to so many people with your courageous visit to Poland and what you are making happen in your country...

I'm not alone trying to change things in the UK and it is hard work... but having a team of people trying to change things actually makes it a lot easier and more exciting. I could not do what I do without them.

I hope you are doing OK...

Hi, I am in the UK and if I can help at all just let me know. I haven't a clue what I can do but am willing to try anything.

I know that things are about to start in the UK, but fear that the rug will be pulled as soon as it gets started, so have my appointment booked for Poland in May.

Like I say just give me a shout if there is anything that I can do.

Hiya,

I am already signed up on the facebook page and signed the petition etc. I will look at the website and see what I can do.

Hopefully after May I may have more energy than I know what to do with, so will be in a better position to help also Well that is my hope anyway.

Keep doing what you are doing, you are an inspiration to us all.

Dovechick,

Haven't heard from you on here lately. Even checked your tracking thread. How is Ella since she received the stent? Doing better, I hope.

There are two reasons for me not posting:
1. I don't ask Ella too many questions, and as she does not live near me it is difficult for me to say anything. If it had been a miracle cure for her as it appears to be for some other people it would be easier to say something, but any improvements she has had are small and can sometimes disappear and reappear on a daily basis.
2. Because of this I think it is better for us to wait for a couple of months to see what had changed if anything.
We must remember that Ella has had MS for 10 years +

Respect.
