Multiple Sclerosis; how much do you know?
Many years ago I was struck down by a mystery illness called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). I spent 8 months in hospital recovering including 8 weeks in Intensive Care on a ventilator. During my recovery in the rehabilitation ward I noticed a lady suffering similar symptoms so I asked her whether she had GBS too. Unfortunately she didn’t have GBS; she was suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
I learnt that this lady would go through this very ignoble and painful recovery process once every five years or so, which is very different from the ‘once in a lifetime’ event of getting GBS. I’ve read on the BBC News site this morning that MS is very underfunded in the UK so I thought I’d try and raise awareness.
You can find out more about MS and test your knowledge here:
