Hi all,
I was diagnosed with MS on Sunday after visiting an ophthalmologist for greying in my right eye. Had various eye tests and an MRI which gave the defining diagnosis…
Ok, I’m 64 in 9 days and I live in Thailand, been here 21 years and I live in the very rural North East, there’s not a huge amount of MS in the Asian community so out here apart from the doctor there’s no-one to share with… still looking at local expat chat forums but so far a blank, hoping I can get some answers and feedback here, sure I will..
My next step is supposed to be a 3 to 5 day IV steroid course which is due to start on Friday, but both myself and my doctor are concerned, as you know the steroids drop your immunity levels and I’m yet to have had my first Covid jab… the area now has an abundance of Delta variant patients and cases are rising daily. I will need to drive 30 odd Kms to the hospital each day. So I’m not sure if the steroids will go ahead as planned.
Are there any members of this forum who reside in Thailand?
Thanks…
