Hello I have only just got diagnosed after having symptoms for last 5 years. If you have Progressive MS but are not yet on any treatment are you on the shielding list. Thank you

I've lockjaw at the moment trying to find a dentist as I can only open my mouth so far. Trying to eat is almost impossible. Also my face is swollen. Rang 111 hope they can help take care x

Hi hope your all doing well. It's a frightening time that's for sure. Bought a pink face mask yesterday. Thinking of drawing a nose and a big mouth like a duck. Hope it cheers up some people. Was out shopping when a lady said could she pass so I said no. Not meaning to offend her. I was joking. She recoiled in horror. Only trying to bring cheer to others. Well hope you all remain upbeat. This is the way forward. Cheers xx

@Courtney_J 

hi Courtney_J I have recently had my diagnosis change from Primary Progressive to Progressive Relapsing, apparently it’s a rarer type but I have not had to  shield through this Covid 19 Pandemic
