My aunt has it, it's been so sad watching her deteriorate over the years. The last 12 months have been the worst as she is now permanently in her wheelchair, losing her vision and unable to hold her hands steady enough to do most things. Terrible disease. |

Agreed it's not a nice illness, I also have MS, but have managed to get to the point mentally where I won't let it beat me. It's always there and there are good and bad times , but it's only a small part of who I am and I'm hoping I can keep it that way for as long as possible ! |

Just because he is a celeb it gets on the news. what about all the normal people who have it and dont get on the news. Im sure he will have decent treatment and live a comfy life unlike normal people who have to live off benefits. |

I'm glad it has been reported in the news as it can only raise awareness. |

"I'll be doing my bit for MS next month when I and 799 other drummers 'Stick it to MS'.
Where and when please Drummer?"
Google 'Stick it to MS' and all will be revealed. |

Whilst money is a big help, it won't stop him suffering or being in pain. Its a horrible illness and I feel for anyone living with it.

the sad thing is
when I saw the announcement today and the forum post.... I said to myself
100% guarantee it will turn into a celebrity v's benefit sufferer.
a young man has been diagnosed with a terrible illness and that is sad... whether he is rich or poor.

Illness pays no respect to age, class, creed or gender and defiantly not to wealth or fame. I think its terribly sad when people are disrespectful to someone's bad health not having met, talked or interact with them. It says so much about the person doing it.

I'll admit I live off benefits and I have MS..I worked from 16yrs old till I had to accept ill health retirement from being a qualified paediatric nurse..with only a few years out to bring up my children.
Do I feel any shame at having to live off the state ? Do I 'eck !! |

sympathy is between shit and syphyllis. and it dont pay the bills etc. all the support in the world doesnt erase the practcalities. like i said 3 months on £85 a week for three people isnt a joke. as far as i am concerned when jon had the stroke our family did.
the fall out for any illness is crap for all concerned.
so for me, at the moment, its about surviving. |

so sorry to hear your loved one and the family are going through tough times.
maybe start a thread and we can discuss the benefit system and the challenge yourself and people in similar situations face.

I bet he isn't sitting thinking " oh well I have MS but it doesn't matter as I have lots of money"
Sometimes I think people are jealous of other peoples lives/ success.
On the other hand, I am guessing he will be able to make his life more comfortable because he probably does have some money in the bank....but I bet he is wishing he could trade it.
I also think higlighting it and speaking out isn't a bad thing. |

"Just reading some published medical papers low vitamin D and MS. Google Vit D and diseases. Always take a supplement. As I do nights indoors a lot. Best wishes to any on fab who has this "
I've been taking high dose D3 for 3 years now and it's improved my health no end. Low levels are associated with a whole host of health problems, a biggie being depression. |

My son's best friend was diagnosed with MS while at uni aged only 19. He has had some surgery to put a stent  in his jugular vein and it has virtually cured him. Not all can gain relief from this operation unfortunately. |

Not having a medical degree or done extensive reading on any correlational connection between drug usage of parents and MS in their offspring... I can't comment |

What a huge sweeping statement, can you provide medical evidence in support of this? |

What a pile of crap! How exactly do you think that works then? That drugs crept, by osmosis, into the womb? That they created a miasma in the air while he was a child that he breathed in? Then it affected his nervous system in this way?
Always one who has to try and be clever. |
