Multiple Sclerosis
Being diagnosed with MS is usually a big surprise for everyone involved; you, your family and your friends.
There can be a real sense of shock, disbelief and even a sense of loss of control. There is also that perception that this means disability and wheelchairs; yet this increasingly becoming a misconception for many especially since the advent of better treatments and earlier interventions.
One of the best ways to come to terms with this life changing news is to seek out quality information so you can understand more realistically what this means for you. However remember MS is a very individual disease with many signs and symptoms, so what you read can be overwhelming and yet may not be relevant to your specific case.
About MS seeks to provide you with an overview of MS, how it is diagnosed and treated and what symptoms may present challenges to you at some time in your life.
We hope you find the information interesting and helpful and we have included an articles and links section is there to guide you to credible and quality information as you seek to become “empowered” through gaining knowledge and arming yourself with skills and supports to move ahead and adjust to this challenge.
If you would like any additional information or have a question that needs to be asked please contact us or phone 9365 4888 and ask to speak to one of our MS nurses; if we don’t know we can ask an expert and get back to you.
