Having multiple sclerosis does NOT mean you can’t still work, have a big night out, enjoy time with your family or go on holiday. We believe in not letting MS take control of our lives, and instead find ways to rethink how we can take part in activities that are important to us, be it employment, sport or travel. Hear about ways to overcome the obstacles that MS can throw at us, and don't be afraid to ask questions about how others have dealt with the impact of MS on their friendships and relationships.

Living in London in a bachelor pad that resembled a scene from the movie Animal House after a major relapse and a dose of steroids life went on. Yes rugby was a non starter but the chaos of a 20 year old continued at a ridiculo...

Any MS diets?

Does anyone follow/recommend any sort of special anti-inflammatory diet for those with MS? I'm pretty healthy don't drink, don't smoke and practice very low impact yoga. I just wondered if anyone on here swears by a specific diet. Thank you x #diet #workandplay #nystagmus #tremor #yoga
