MS and Your Support Network

Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be a challenging or even frightening diagnosis. But you don’t have to face it alone – there are many people ready to help you manage it.

Just the facts

When something affects your life as strongly as MS does, it’s natural to want to know as much as possible about it. In-depth research can help fill in background and guide you on where to ask your health professionals for more information.

Living with MS

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is called “multiple” for a reason – it involves many different parts of the body in various ways, and many aspects of your life.

National societies

The first and best place to turn for help with MS is a large, well-organized national society dedicated to helping people with MS and their friends and families.

A little help from your friends

If you have MS, or if a friend or family member does, there are hundreds of support groups you can turn to for advice, to share insights and experiences.
