hi, just after a bit of advice or info really. my dad was diagnosed with ms 8 years ago. hes now wheelchair bound and has carers going in 3 times a day.
ive heard of ms nurses etc. whenever weve needed anything ive had to fight for it, eg track hoists.
since he was in a rehabilitation unit when he went up to stage 2 3 years ago we have had hardly any contact with ots, physios, even district nurses wont come out except to take his blood pressure every 6 months.
is this normal and do you just get more help the worse the ms is.
any advice is welcome.
