Hi @Annette79
Many thanks ??
Yes I have ended up in the same mess going from a healthy adult to a wheelchair user 24/7.
The Meds that I am talking are at max with very very little effect nowadays.
My daughter is currently in her first year at University training to be a Midwife.
How are you today??

Hi annette79 I have osteo arthritis and cervical spondylosis amongst other things. I am in a lot of pain and struggle to walk a lot of the time. I am currently waiting to see if I have ms. I was told a while ago it was me but now I am seeing a different doctor and he is not sure as there is such a lot of symptoms that are similar in both me and ms.0
