@A MyMSTeam Member and @A MyMSTeam Member thank you both for your quick replies to my question, it's much appreciated 🙂
I'm so glad Ruth that things are much better for you, and Mary that the neurologist definitely needs to reassess! Good luck, you're the best person to know whether you're deteriorating!

Good day, Heather. 👋 I was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in 1998. 📋 Now I'm 74 years old. 🎂 I recently began Ocrevus infusions. 💉 This treatment proved to be one of my best decisions. ✨ It alleviated symptoms I'd endured for years—truly wonderful relief. 😊 Ultimately, you decide. 🤔 Remember: physicians work for you. 👨⚕️
@A MyMSTeam Member. Well, we've trained our Men, or rather - it's definitely ongoing, to be aware of their talents and gentler aspects of character (most of them know how to use a vacuum cleaner, turn on the washing machine etc).
Some are actually very good chefs - see if you can nobble one, they're usually goodlooking - especially Farmers or Computer Whizzes for some reason.
Good luck!🤞 🤗 🍀 🙏🫂💕
@A MyMSTeam Member. your case of misdiagnoses is frequent, I'm sorry that must have been an awful time for you. I do understand, as it seems to be a common occurrence.
I know I'm blessed, most essential Healthcare in New Zealand is subsided, So my MS treatment & meds are all free. Although, if (IF!) I'm assessed I'm going to check.
God Bless you, try to stay strong and have Faith in God - I know He has us in His Hands, although sometimes I do forget that 🙏👋💕🫂🤗🙏🙏🙏
@A MyMSTeam Member thank you for your text, that's very good that you're in your 70s now, No DMTs, and have had no relapses for years.
And that you can still walk!
(I can too, however am totally dependent on my walker, too wobbly without it, you don't bounce when you fall!)
I'm very happy for you Cherilou, and I wish you a smooth MS journey 👋🤗🙏💕🙂 and a lovely weekend ❤️
