Yeah I would seriously question that wisdom too. Europe knows far more about the treatment of MS than almost anywhere. I would seek help from the one in 20,000 rather than chance your arm, or leg, with any number of quacks here.

If you are happy and have friends and family in Ireland for support, it is best to stay there, at least until you have a handle on it. You may have already been told this, but the instances of MS increase, the closer you get to the poles, so I would expect the treatment to be better in Europe. Advances in treatment are happening all of the time and once you have this in place, there is no reason why you cannot live a long ans successfull life.

Sensible decision, but stay away from Harabs if you can! Harvey Nicks round the corner on Sloane Street is possibly a better bet.

For real bargains, head for Camden Market and shop til you drop!

Best of luck with the diagnosis and treatment, let us know how it goes.
