You have similar symptoms to so many others but a great attitude is everything. Good for you! Some people seem to love the pity. I felt like a fraud even when I was in a wheelchair! An english MStuber living in france? Have you ever corresponded with Alexknobsob?
@missalgernon did I ought to? With a name like that, I'm a little worried... :) I feel very lucky to live in France and have this condition since I have friends in the UK and US with MS who had to wait ages to get an accurate diagnosis and longer still for appropriate care. I also have other friends who are convinced that I am entitled to a blue disabled badge for our car, but I already feel enough of a fraud and I only walk funny - no need for a wheelchair even...
@finnfather I think it's a reference to a famous musician. Yes, he can come across as a bit strange but he's my best friend :-) I take advantage of the perks! when I was really sick I got a sticker for the good car spaces too and a half price taxi card. Very handy. I think to myself, why not use it if it gives me more energy to do the things that matter.
Thank you, I haven't done a new vid in so long I'd almost forgotten I could. As for the accent, blame my parents. They are the ones who chose to bring me up in the south east of England, otherwise it would have been very different... :)
Glad you're doing well. Obviously it was a few years since you last posted and it almost took me a year to notice but lovely to hear from you :) Phil

@missalgernon You're right, but it just seems like accepting that I'm disabled, and I don't feel that's the case at all right now.

Good to hear from you Ben. It's been so long I forgot your first name and had to check your channel. Lol on the big smile part towards the end.

@worktosser But I haven't forgotten yours Ian, even with my occasional memory lapses... ;)

I am so happy that you are feeling good :)
I have M.S. too and these days I am doing pretty well too.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos.
I have watched them all, on a side note I love your accent.
Keep Well
