I looked at leaving the US years ago. Australia was on my short list after spending some time in Melbourne. Alas MS is one of those things that makes immigration harder nearly everywhere because it "puts an undue burden on the health system". Never found a way around that aside from maybe marrying a local; it's been a while.

Glad he's getting the treatment he needs!! Drugs have made incredible advances in the last decade.



Yeah that's a bummer :(

And yes drugs have made incredible advances -- my aunt (and hence my brother's aunt) had MS and her life was ruined by it.

Pretty amazing to see something advance that quickly with such a stark difference in outcomes between 2 of my own family members.

When my brother told me it was relatively benign given they caught it early and he had access to treatment I was like "I read 10 books for the MS Readathon in Year 1... You're welcome!"
