Hearing the diagnosis is shocking… then you need to live with it.
Chronic conditions can tear shreds off your relationships, your motivation, your life.
You don’t need to tough it out, to go it alone.

I got diagnosed last Monday. It had been months of testing and MS was a possibility but I was in denial until I heard those three words: ‘it’s definitely MS’.
….It’s hearing from real people who actually have MS that there is hope and that you can have a relatively normal life, and not to feel as though you have to take on everything at once or alone.
….thank you….. it takes away some of the overwhelm.
It’s really great what are you are doing. Spreading positivity around the MS community.
My favourite aspect is when you ask everyone ….what’s the best thing to come out of their diagnosis. For me it’s prioritising what’s important, not to put off anything important, my amazing support system, and how much closer it’s brought me and my mum. Thank you from Vancouver Canada
