Have had ileostomy for 3 years - called Winnie (the poo) but have also had MS since I was 15 - I'm 61 now. Is there anybody else out there with the same combination? Please write. Would love to hear from you. Belinda

Hi Belinda, well, there's me with M.S., and when I had my op there was talk amongst the nurses of a vicar's wife with both diseases, so we are about!!
I manage quite well, but what worries me is if I get another attack my hands would have no feeling for the intricate dealing of a bag change, or worse still, a bag leak, dread the thoughts! I have had M.S. since I was 23 years, but symptoms not recognized by me, were present from the age of 20. I have been totally paralyzed twice, both times taken about a year to get back to "normal", several minor attacks taking 4 months to get back again, and been in hospital 3 months at a time, twice. I would be interested to hear how you manage.
