A Diary of MS, from pre-diagnosis on....

I have recorded my experiences with initial symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), and how they (and I) have been dealt with by the NHS. I hope this is of use to those of you as yet undiagnosed, to illustrate what happens and how it happens, and how you get a diagnosis.

Monday 27th: I went for an assessment with physio/OT at the Cherry Tree Hospital. Are there any other hospitals I haven’t visited yet? It turned out to be just the filling-in of a questionnaire, although they did suggest my applying for Disabled Living Allowance, which may help me get to work. I was fairly mobile now, so I didn’t think I’d be eligible.

Oh how misinformed I was! I was eligible, and should have applied there and then.
