As number of people who qualify for a Covid booster from the NHS is cut by about 12 million, after minimum age was raised to 65 from 50, Britain surges ahead with replacing their much loved NHS with a ๐บ๐ธ private model which sees people die because they canโt afford treatment.
I'm planning to do some research in the area of stigma in MS in a while. Fears of stigma from others may be the reason why some PwMS choose not to disclose their diagnosis or their full range of symptoms.
Have you experienced any stigma around MS? How has this affected you?
@ChrisBrWriter I will never forget my first summer here. I was walking along the riverside on a warm sunny day, past several outdoor dining areas.
The sun disappeared behind a cloud for a minutr and there was an audible sigh of relief.
It was 22 degrees. I was appalled.
I am researching for a video I am going to make.
I'd love to hear from you the thing or things you are not told when you are diagnosed with MS and you wish you had been.
Reply here or DM me. Nothing is attributed.
I appreciate your help. Thank you, Dom
@ChrisBrWriter @shiftms Yes!! Me too! Ok my optic neuritis happened in Quebec, a few years before I moved to the UK, but it was on every bloody form Iโd ever filled out, etc. This was my GP (ok, a GP at my surgery- We rarely saw the GP who we were signed up with), she could see the ON on file. Dickhead.
@shiftms @ChrisBrWriter Omg me too!
I had a gp who said โmaybe you donโt want to know whatโs causing these symptoms. Do you really want to go down what rabbit hole?โ
I was asking for help navigating the nhs. So I dropped it . Until 18 months later I went blind ๐
Did you know?
A new ยฃ100 million private hospital will be opening next year on the grounds of an NHS trust.
The new hospital will belong to a US-owned private healthcare company, HCA UK.
RT if you think everyone should be aware.
