Our research found that 7 in 10 people with MS surveyed didn’t know at diagnosis about lifestyle changes that could help them live well alongside medical treatment. Instead, many hear about uncertainty, symptoms and what MS might take away, without being told about the trusted information, practical choices and support available. This needs to change.

Nobody told me...
An MS diagnosis can change everything. What someone hears next can change their story. In Nobody told me, six people living with MS share what they wish they’d known at diagnosis, what they’ve discovered since, and what they want the next person to know.

I feel I was very lucky to find Overcoming MS. You really can live your life how you want to live it, not how MS dictates it.
Maria LandolinaCommunity member
My life with MS isn’t perfect but it’s hugely better than I ever thought it might be. Members of the Hampshire Circle and the wider Overcoming MS community are terrifically supportive, to me and to each other.
Sue CollisOvercoming MS Ambassador People living with MS can do an awful lot to improve their physical and mental health by modifying relatively simple things in their lifestyle. MS is not a death sentence. I certainly, a decade later, live a very full, happy, healthy life with my MS.
