Hi All
I have MS and suffer with fatigue, most of the time I feel like I am drunk and walk like I am which can be amusing!
Sunshine and specifically vitamin D is very good for MS and mood. I am craving some sunshine. The UK and the aggressive, confrontational nature of everything and everyone is getting me down. So, we would really like to move to somewhere in Europe that is warmer in terms of the weather and the people. But, I have no idea what you have to do in terms of healthcare etc etc. I wonder if anyone has any experience of emigrating whilst having a chronic health condition.
Thank you
Karen

Hi @MrsOrangetree, I've shared this via push notifications so hopefully more of our community members will see it. In the meantime, the NHS page has some good in-depth information about how moving abroad affects healthcare, which may be useful.

Hi just seen your message have you tried tenerife it is sunshine all year round from what I have been told as it's on the coast of Africa I do believe or the south of France I know a few who live there and say 85 to 90 sunshine all year round. it's just what I have been told it may help you but sorry if it doesn't

Was your last job ended through your own fault or was you self-employment. And why does he not give you a good reference

Hi @sarahslade907, I've moved your post into our ask an employment advisor category, as a new discussion, where somebody will hopefully be able to help. You can find your discussion here.

I think that Spain is a good location. Poland is also a nice country. I was there to have my knee surgery last summer. The weather was so sunny. But I think their climate is similar to the UK. Anyway, I love Polish surgeons!
