I know this isn't football - but if any of us ever felt like life wasn't going our way

... then perhaps this report might make us feel thankful. It certainly does me.</p>

It's certainly given me

Food for thought .

 

Horrible, heartbreaking cruel disease.

 

'kin ell ...

My Mum has had MS for 13 years ... but I never knew how bad it can get!

Not sure whether to feel sorry for that bloke or scared to death!

 

RE: 'kin ell ...

I go for months without thinking of this fecking disease and then things appear to remind me.

My Uncle has had the disease since his early twenties (he is now 64) and it has progressed steadily. My older brother was diagnosed with it in 2004. A neighbour has it, and so does her sister and mother !!

Everytime a "medical professional" tells me its not hereditary, I look at my kids and think what the f*ck do you actually know.............

 

RE: 'kin ell ...

Aye ... not hereditary but yet they'll still hike-up critical illness cover when they learn of the familt history of it ..
