19 years ago I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis via various methods, including an MRI scan. Today I saw my neurologist who thought it was about time I had another MRI scan…..19 years on. Talk about the irony of it and of the horse having already bolted. People with PPMS still have no treatments available to them to stem the flow, always get the short end of the straw and are left with little hope about their long term future. Luckily I was born for a battle royale – the line will always hold, but I feel for those in less favourable circumstances, who so often give up. No surrender my friends.
