I'm sorry to hear about your condition, my heart goes out to you, my (Ex) Father-in-Law is also a sufferer, I guess he was one of the lucky ones, even 5 years after the diagnosis he was still 'mobile', but I could see the changes in him, it's not a pleasant experience for the sufferer, or loved ones.
From what I've learnt of the illness, there are no 2 people in the world with identical characteristics, that's what makes it so hard, how can you begin to find a cure for something that differs in every sufferer?
If I'm not mistaken, as a general 'rule', men are likely to contract it either in their 20's or 40's, and Women in their 30's, although you don't say what gender you are?
Don't give up though, try to fight it mentally, there have been proven cases, where sufferers have just got out of bed one day and just stunned everybody by showing no symptoms, and staying that way, but sadly this doesn't happen to everybody ( I have heard that a spliff can help with the pain....shhh, don't tell everybody).
I do urge everybody though to try and find out the basics about this horrendous condition, just in case they, or somebody they know starts demonstrating some of the symptoms, the earlier the diagnosis the better.
I wish you all the best, I suffer from Severe Depression, but don't have the M.S. to cope with like you, I really hope things get better for you, there are loads of scientists investigating M.S., hopefully the breakthru' is just around the corner.
no need to put the dog down, just have it rehomed
I know of people who have been wrongly diagnosed with MS -
they saw more advanced doctors who investigated various causes & offered better treatment options , often not available through the nhs.
See the link below and decide for yourself-
Dont put dogs down-simply rehome them.
