Cheryl shares her multiple sclerosis tattoo
A few weeks ago we ran a short blog highlighting our readers MS related tattoos. You can see the original post here – https://patienttalk.org/multiple-sclerosis-tattoos-please-drop-round-to-our-blog-and-share-your-ms-related-tattoo/
The blog has been so successful that we have opened a new gallery of multiple sclerosis body art.
So please feel free to post a picture of your multiple sclerosis tattoos in the comments section of this blog. If this proves a problem you can email your picture to us at patienttalkblog@gmail.com and we will post them on your behalf.

Multiple sclerosis awareness
Having been involved with researching the opinions of people in the multiple sclerosis community for nearly ten years I’m still fascinated by the options people have for treatments.
As we know the possibilities are wide ranging from no treatments whatsoever (for some this works) to a full range of interventions such as physio etc.
So we thought it would be of interest to run a short poll on which treatments our readers actually do use. The poll is below.
It would be great if you could use the comments box to tell your multiple sclerosis treatment story in more detail.
Thanks in advance
Stem cells and MS
But in recent years it has become one of the most looked to ways of treating various different medical conditions. These include such different conditions such as cancer and diabetes. You can read an overview of stem cell therapy here (https://patienttalk.org/stem-cells-so-what-actually-is-stem-cell-therapy-are-you-for-or-against/) at a previous blog post. It will also give an insight into some of the medical and ethical controversies surrounding stem cell treatments.
However one of the most interesting areas for stem cell that of multiple sclerosis. The purpose of this blog post is two-fold:-
1) Firstly to find out what percentage of our readers would consider having stem cell treatments for their MS. We have set up a poll below for you to share your opinion.
2) Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, it would be great if you have has stem cell therapy of multiple sclerosis if you might share your story in the comments box below. In particular we are interested in how successful was the treatment.
Thanks very much in advance.
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month
One of the most often asked questions of our Facebook discussion page on multiple sclerosis called MultipleSclerosisTalk (https://www.facebook.com/MultipleSclerosisTalk) is how long since diagnosis with MS.
We thought, therefore, that it would be of value to run a poll and discussion on the subject. You can find the poll below.
Feel free to use the comments box below to share any aspect of your multiple sclerosis story you think will be of interest to others.
Many thanks in advance
