@NTA mate that's tough news. Hang in there, hope it goes as well as possible

[Dodge]

@NTA jeez mate that’s rough. Chin up, keep going, all you can do. Sending virtual fist bumps, awkward bloke hugs and raising a pint whilst dipping my head in a solidarity fashion.

[MajorRage]

@NTA smash it Nick.

Chin up.

[MN5]

Not a nice message to read fella.

God DAMN health is wealth is SUCH an apt term here, look after yourself.

You got this, listen to the doctors and do what they tell you etc. ( coming from the son of a doctor I hope this is sage advice )

[barbarian]

Thinking of you and the family Nick. I know I speak for 90% of posters when I say that although I/we find you personally repulsive on many levels, you are a good bloke at heart.

@NTA My wife was diagnosed with MS over 30 years ago.

The understanding of how it works, and the most effective treatments are light years ahead of where they were in those days.

A majority of sufferers especially with modern interventions manage life without it overly impacting. You'll be inundated with advice and treatments. Take it all with a massive dose of cynicism. The well-intentioned advice is usually deluded and improvements down to the placebo effect and the relapsing remitting nature of the disease. Very east to mistake causality for correlation with MS. Spoiler alert: Bee Venom (and the like) doesn't work

Listen to your body. The two biggest things that can lead to adverse progression are trying to push through and not managing stress. If you feel a bit knackered, you need to rest. Not just take it easy but proper do fucking nothing rest.

All the best mate. Happy to yarn about it any time.

Mission accomplished.

@NTA Terribly sorry to hear that Nick. Best of luck with everything.

@NTA Shit news mate, hope it all goes the good for you!!
Regardless of what that @barbarian joker says, most of us figure you a top bugger, for an Aussie of course, and bugger me there not a lot of spare ones to go round. ie barbarion??
In all seriousness mate, go well mate, and chase those things you want to do!!!

Time for the trip of a lifetime @nta, get a couple bags!

[canefan]

Always said to hear one of our Polish sisters is going through a bad times. Wishing you all the best, smash it mate

[Machpants]

All these best, ya Ozzie fluffybunny. A mate of mine from work was diagnosed a decade ago, did some then experimental stem cell work overseas, and has had 7 years in remission. Science is racing along.

That's where @Kruse is based right...

Cheers lads. Appreciate the support - I'm told from a few different sources that the science has improved massively in this area so most outlooks are good.

My main concern is the wife's mental state. They love to grieve over shit that hasn't happened yet.

After a smoke I'm sure Dick's is the first thing on Kruse's mind

FWIW, there are a lot of drugs in phase 2 or 3 trials.

Drugs in development

How MS drugs are developed and tested in clinical trials to be sure they are safe and effective.

Haven't eaten any Dicks yet - but doing my drivers license test next Thursday, so once I've got that... options open up.
Never thought that eating Dicks would be on my list, but... should probably give it a go if the chance presents.

You can eat in, or takeaway a bag of Dick's

Gotta get your license so that you can eat Dick's in the back seat.
