Your MS community

Download the Shift.ms app to connect and manage multiple sclerosis, from diagnosis. Get support, find answers and make decisions.

By MSers, for MSers

We’re a global charity that supports recently diagnosed people as they make sense of MS. We’re independent and our app is free.

Support and guidance

Connect with other MSers, get 1:1 support and thrive with a community that gets what you’re going through.

Your questions answered

Don’t wait until your next appointment to ask questions. Learn how other MSers deal with their diagnosis and are managing their MS.

"An app for everything MS"

Learn about multiple sclerosis and talk openly with other MSers about your experiences. Whether you want to know more about diagnosis, symptoms, treatments, lifestyle adaptations, or anything else MS, you’ve come to the right place.

What our members say

I would recommend [the app] to anyone newly diagnosed with MS. All the information about your MS is right there.
- Anthony, Staffordshire, UK
It's a community without having to leave your house. Everything we need is there, with information for a plethora of questions. Plus, it's private and accessible right on your phone.
- Kat, Cumbria, UK
Sometimes other [MSers] describe symptoms so similar to me that I have been unable to describe to anyone else. Sometimes I am the person that can help someone else... or at least listen.
- Laura, Minnesota, US

Take control, from diagnosis

Multiple sclerosis is unpredictable, we get it. Ask the Shift.ms community anything in the live feed, have private conversations, see how other MSers are making decisions through community insights, or lose yourself in our video library.

Free 1:1 support

The Buddy Network connects you with an experienced MSer. Get emotional support, tailored advice, and coaching to make proactive decisions right from the point of diagnosis (and make some really good friends along the way).

Small charity, big impact

We’re not a regular social network. We’re a small team, overseen by a board of trustees and we don’t have any investors or advertising partners. Our community is the driving-force behind Shift.ms.
