Capital Radio star diagnosed with life-changing condition after missing GP appointment to get lashes done
Capital Radio DJ Zofia Rogers has revealed to fans she's been given a health diagnosis that will affect her for life after she went to a lash appointment instead of the GP. The Capital Dance host took to social media last night to tell her 12.3k followers on Instagram that she'd chosen to go for the beauty treatment instead of the doctors because the two time-slots she'd been given 'clashed'. She was then told she'd been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) after feeling unwell for a lengthy time. Zofia, 24, said: 'Health update: After months of appointments, tests, scans and investigations, I finally have a diagnosis of MS (multiple sclerosis). This has come as a huge shock to me as I never expected it would be something like this, and I'll have to have lifelong treatment to manage symptoms and make sure it doesn't get any worse. I'm really lucky that I've found it super early and I only had 2 lesions on my brain so hopefully with correct treatment it will stay at a mild level." She added: 'Although I'm massively in shock at this outcome and it wasn't something I was expecting, I'm also relieved to finally know what's been making me feel unwell for so long and I've now been referred to an MS specialists who will be able to get me started on treatment. I'd love to connect with other people who have MS as I'm still trying to learn and understand more of what it all looks like and kind of wrap my head around it, so please do drop me a dm if you have it too." In a later post, she went on: "Funny story, I was SO convinced there was nothing wrong with me that I nearly cancelled my MRI scan cos I couldn't be bothered to take out my hair extensions as they had metal in them. "And I delayed my consultant appointment cos the one they gave me clashed with a lash appointment." She then said: 'Lashes first,' before a series of laughing-faced emojis.

There are lots of possible symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Everyone with the condition is affected differently. Some of the most common symptoms include: Symptoms may come (called "flare-ups" or "relapses") and go (called "remissions"), and may get worse over time.

Multiple sclerosis (known as MS) is a condition in which the immune system attacks the body and causes nerve damage to the brain and spinal cord. It is an incurable, lifelong condition. Symptoms can be mild in some, and in others more extreme causing severe disability. WHAT IS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS? Multiple sclerosis (known as MS) is a condition in which the immune system attacks the body and causes nerve damage to the brain and spinal cord. It is an incurable, lifelong condition. Symptoms can be mild in some, and in others more extreme causing severe disability. MS affects 2.3 million people worldwide - including around one million in the US, and 100,000 in the UK. It is more than twice as common in women as it is in men. A person is usually diagnosed in their 20s and 30s. The condition is more commonly diagnosed in people of European ancestry. The cause isn't clear. There may be genes associated with it, but it is not directly hereditary. Smoking and low vitamin D levels are also linked to MS. Symptoms include fatigue, difficulty walking, vision problems, bladder problems, numbness or tingling, muscle stiffness and spasms, problems with balance and co-ordination, and problems with thinking, learning and planning. The majority of sufferers will have episodes of symptoms which go away and come back, while some have ones which get gradually worse over time. Symptoms can be managed with medication and therapy. The condition shortens the average life expectancy by around five to 10 years.
