Living with MS
Become your own expert
On average, one person every five minutes is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis worldwide.1 For those affected and their families, it is first and foremost a shock with many unanswered questions.
The course and signs of the disease vary considerably from patient to patient. This is why MS is also called the "disease of a thousand faces". The lives of those affected are as diverse as the disease itself. Behind every MS is a person with a story. Every person with MS has their own life experiences with MS which can inspire and encourage others.
Living with a chronic illness is challenging. But you'll soon find out: there are plenty of touchpoints, support offers, and modern therapies that will help you go your own way.
