"MS Diagnosis"

About: Trust wide Neurology Services / MS Nurse Led Clinics

(as the patient),

Caller was diagnosed with MS in 2002 – from 1999 they had experienced sharp pains in the base of their head – subsequently they were then diagnosed, specifically inflation on the brain.

They would like to thank the Neurology dept at Southern Trust for all their help and support over the last 20 years since that diagnosis – particularly MS Nurse Heidi, who has been a massive help and support since then. The condition has gradually worsened since 2002 but their help and support has made this manageable and taken a large part of the fear element away from everyday life.

Heidi herself has been a constant positive influence for the last 20 years. They couldn’t not offer their highest praise for her support.

Receiving news of a diagnosis such as this can be very scary and concerning, but they wanted to reassure people that help and support is out there.
