Relapsing remitted but am completely disabled because of a stroke in July 2022

Hello there, @ColinSalter,

How are you feeling today?

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. It must be so incredibly difficult to manage both MS and the aftermath of the stroke, and I'm really sorry to hear about your disability. It's true that people with MS are more susceptible to a stroke. How have you been managing everything?

If anyone here has had similar experiences or has found ways to cope with both MS and the disabilities that can come after a stroke, please feel free to share your insights.

Your experience could really help others who might be going through something similar.

Take care,

My first Multiple Sclerosis attack was in 1992 when I lost my sight in my left eye it came back after treatment at hospital but Multiple Sclerosis was not diagagnosed

In the early 2000 I started to suffer from fatigue I fell asleep during section meetings had a accident in company van when I fell asleep while driving I woke up just before I hit the car in front I stopped in company van and had a sleep for 1/2 hour

Had another accident in company van in 2011 again I woke up just before I hit the car in front did not get into trouble for it because of 100000 miles between accidents

In February 2012 I attended my doctor's because my legs were dead he sent me to a hospital where they diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis

Thank you Colin Salter
