Hello I'm new to the group I was diagnosed last year with m.s . last year after it was missed in 2011 I have also got strictures in more than 50%of my small bowel probable cause chrons which is going to lead to intestinal failure which means I will have surgery and a intervenous feed line put in both my gastroligist and neurologist both say the treatment for the bowel will make my m.s. a lot worse I was wondering if anybody has had anything like this that could help me as having a line is not good as not many people live longer than 2 years so I'm desperate thankyou in advance x
At the risk of sounding a bit soppy, I just wanted to say Thankyou, to all those who have offered kind words of support, wisdom and encouragement during the short time I have been on here. You have got me through some questionable points, and undoubtedly, will be there to get me through more. But more importantly, as I sit and read through the newcomers threads, unable to give any constructive advice, I feel very humble and thankful on all our behalf, for your sincere kindness!
THANKYOU!

Hi AGAIN,
This is my second home just now. The thing is, I'm seeing a GP at my surgery next week and I really, really want her to listen to my concerns. It might sound a daft question, but what is the best approach?
I'm naturally quite a reserved person, and I don't think I fight my corner too well. I now know I REALLY have to; I'm not getting any better - so many awful, random symptoms that I need to get to the bottom of - I can't stand the thought of being sent away with pills to mask my symptoms again!!!!
Should I take my husband? I've taken lists of symptoms in the past, and the GP has looked at me like I'm being overly paranoid and suggested I go on anxiety medication. I feel I never really get listened to. Where am I going wrong???
Please help. Jan.
