I would recommend [the app] to anyone newly diagnosed with MS. All the information about your MS is right there.
- Anthony, Staffordshire 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.

You've come to the right place! We're all in the same boat here - it's rather like an extended family. It's my 'go to' site for MS knowledge and finding out about other people's experiences.
- Vikki, Newcastle UK
Your charity has given me my life back and every day I can see more of my pre-diagnosis self returning. I owe Shift.ms an amazing gratitude for that.
