Delays in treatment
September 26, 2022
The Multi-disciplinary team manager was sacked some time last year and the service was a shambles. I was diagnosed in August 2021. A letter came in the post in August to say that I might have MS. I was then booked an appointment to speak to a Neurologist for the end of September 2021. The appointment was cancelled and rearranged 4/5 times and I finally saw them face to face in November 2021. They said the cancellations were due to Covid. I did not start treatment until August 2022, there has been a delay in my treatment. They've lost my bloods, they took forever in getting back to me. I was at breaking point. The doctor called in June/July 2022 and I told them I was keen to start treatment. I got off the phone and within minutes an MS nurse had rang me back and booked me in straight away. I feel I've progressed a lot in the year I was left.
New medication
September 26, 2022
I've been given new medication for my condition which I take for 2 weeks a month for a year. They bring the medication to my home for me and bring enough for the week.
Need access to more knowledge and skills
September 26, 2022
The MS nurse takes the lead, they see my wife quite regularly. I do not feel she gets what she needs. She needs more access to skills and knowledge. We've had to wait a year to see the nurse.
Delay in treatment
September 22, 2022
Wife was diagnosed February 2020 and 1st appointment was meant to be 3 days after lockdown. She didn't start her infusions and treatment until August 2022. The communication has been slow and there has been very few, if any, appointments. I don't believe she has had a face to face appointment.
Could be more useful
September 22, 2022
I've only met the MS nurse once and he was from the Queen Elizabeth hospital. Not really useful, it's the same questions every time. Maybe it has helped me, I don't know. They did give me a booklet and some information on MS.
