MS is a condition that impacts the nervous system, with symptoms that can range from numbness and fatigue to mobility issues and severe disability. Natasha’s personal connection to MS, through her friend’s diagnosis at the age of 21, has given her a profound understanding of what it means to live with the condition. Natasha shares, “It’s really opened my eyes to the extent MS can impact daily life. To see my friend diagnosed so young, and knowing what she must live with daily, is heartbreaking. It’s an invisible condition to those who don’t know her. ”
Imogen, Natasha’s friend shares “The MS Society is so important to me. When I got diagnosed, the MS Society website was so useful when it came to understanding the condition and what was happening to me. There is also support for family and friends, to help them understand the condition. The MS Society also works to find effective treatments to prevent MS. They provide an MS helpline which is so important for so many people living with MS, like myself, to feel supported and part of a community. “
