Ok I'm properly shitfaced so feel free to disregard anything I say...

I had a doctors telephone appointment yesterday, all my bloods are back. I have progressed myasthenia gravis and "very, very likely" multiple sclerosis - MRI and neurological appointment for treatment for both in the new year.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 20/12/2020 01:36

Thank you for all the comments about how I am, I'm really grateful ❤️

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/12/2020 01:41

Steve that's not great. Have they said if it can be managed?

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/12/2020 01:45

Or rather what they will do to help you? Or will that be decided by your further tests?

No, not the human league. Fascination is but not just fascination. They also did Yashar,

Both can be managed, MS will likely need infusions. Will find out more about the treatment options in the new year.

After the appointment I had to speak to one of the GPS secretaries in order to get referred to neurology. Not kidding that I had a 20 minute conversation with her telling me that dysphagia (swallowing issues) is a gastrointestinal problem not neurological. I wanted to say "excuse me, but I actually have a medical degree, do you?" but instead plodded along - got the referral in the end anyway!

A drug for the myasthenia gravis, rituximab (given as an infusion) costs £350 a pop. I actually feel bad the treatments going to be costing over four grand a year, that's without all the other medication I'm going to need!

Don't feel guilty, it's no less than what you've paid into the system for.
midgebabe · 20/12/2020 08:22

It's why I pay my taxes, for the NHS

SIL has MS ( for over 30 years now ) . She missed out on some of the current treatments for early stage MS , she's always involved in trials , but it's still cruel . I don't recognise the other MG one

I do do coding as part of my job, but would not say I was a coder, what I do is pretty crude stuff!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 20/12/2020 08:57

So very sorry, steve. Flowers

Don't feel guilty at receiving treatment, just be glad you can.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/12/2020 10:02

@WhipperSnapperSteve glad referral has gone through. Don't feel guilty about cost of receiving treatment, appreciate it's available & use it to get the best you can out of your life. We work & pay tax so our services are there to keep us going.
We'll be here to cheer you on & you can rant whenever you want Flowers

Morning everyone.
Hope they are able to get your treatment under way soon @WhipperSnapperSteve
Is anyone affected by the new tier 4 rules ? I think needtoknow is in London and Trophy in the south somewhere ? I may have that wrong though .

Honeyroar · 20/12/2020 11:07

Morning.
Oh @WhipperSnapperSteve that must have been a scary diagnosis, but take whatever treatment you can and don’t feel remotely guilty. I’m pleased the NHS is helping you. In the meantime try and not worry yourself about it too much (easy for me to say I know) and just keep plodding onwards.

NeedToKnow101 · 20/12/2020 11:07

@WhipperSnapperSteve - so sorry you are dealing with this. No guilt. Love and hugs to you ❤️🤗

NeedToKnow101 · 20/12/2020 11:11

I'm in London @shinynewapple2020 - scuppered my very few plans, hey ho.

NeedToKnow101 · 20/12/2020 11:11

Do I need to prepare anythjbg? Or just some lyrics

NeedToKnow101 · 20/12/2020 11:40

8pm sounds good to me.
@midgebabe lyrics of course, but I'm sure ElfShelf will be along soon with some rules, regulations and minimum alcohol intake required for us all.
