010 Diagnosis Holly Ford Pt1
The MS Show
05/26/20 • 19 min
Holly is a young person with Primary Progressive MS. Her diagnosis story is one of frustration.
She was aged 24 at her eventual diagnosis but she had to go to her Doctor 3 times and kept being told ‘there’s nothing wrong with you’. Using some great advice from her Personal Trainer, Holly was eventually sent by her Doctor to hospital. Several MRI scans later, one using contrast dye, the diagnosis became clearer.
“If it was a female consultant it might have been a bit different”
We talk about Holly learning how to self-catheterise and also clear out her bowels - because with Multiple Sclerosis these things are common, but not easily spoken about.
“I look at the smaller picture ... I look at each day rather than getting through a month”
“If I went to part-time, that’s me letting the MS win”
Initially, she was diagnosed with demyelination and was told that because of the ‘single’ event it could not be classed as ‘multiple sclerosis’. This changed after further scans.
The MS Society asked Holly to help in the Parliamentary campaign to gain approval for Ocrevus (the only Disease Modifying drug presently available for Primary Progressive MS.

Initially diagnosed with PPMS in 2018 - now aged 53 - Rachael Tomlinson is an MS force to be reckoned with.
Initially had a mini-stroke diagnosis in 2013 and went on to be diagnosed with benign MS in 2013 but never told. Used to have stressful job involving lots of travelling and hours. Fatigue was a massive problem - she calls it her enabler to knowing she needs to take things easier.
The frustrations of cognitive problems have really featured in Rachael’s symptoms.
“probably the most frustrating part of it for me” ... “to leave that [work] was devastating and I still grieve for it”.
“I don’t think I was as open about the things that were going on with me”.
“I’m disappointed that 5 years earlier I’d had what they thought was a TIA”

In this 2nd instalment of Grant's diagnosis story He reflects on the disease progression by remembering his stages of requiring walking aids.
A big advocate pf maintaining a positive outlook and having a reason to get up Grant remembers starting to use aids (sticks/wheelchair) before he actually needed to. This helped with gradual easing into the change. We chatted about not 'ruminating' for too long when a negative thought pops along .... as it inevitably does.
008 Diagnosis Story - Grant Miller Pt. 1
The MS Show
05/12/20 • 15 min
In this first episode Grant talks about his MS diagnosis a long time ago. He experienced his 1st symptom visual symptom 40 years ago. Initially he received an optic neuritis diagnosis (in 1979 at the age of 17) then encountered additional, seemingly unconnected symptoms. It wasn't until he saw a TV programme about MS that he was prompted to mention to his neurologist and at this point the neuro confirmed his diagnosis was one of Multiple Sclerosis.
At this point in the history of MS, the 3 'categories' of disease type had not been defined (Relapsing/Remitting, Secondary Progressive, Primary Progressive). These 3 categories were not proposed by the Multiple Sclerosis Society Advisory Committee until 1996. Therefore, Grant's diagnosis was initially referred to (by his neurologist) as Disseminated Sclerosis ... and subsequently confirmed as Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis later in his disease journey.

Dom set up his fitness training company in 2008. Prior to this, his mum (who lived with MS) had encountered a massive debilitating relapse.
