Mastering MS
‘Mastering MS’ is an awareness campaign which tells the stories of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and illustrates how certain resources can help MS patients – especially those who have been diagnosed recently - and their family and friends to master the condition.
Many people with MS face the same fears and concerns worldwide. The Mastering MS program addresses these issues and concerns that people newly diagnosed with MS experience.
“When I was first diagnosed, so many different thoughts ran through my head— How am I going to tell my husband/wife? How would I tell my children? Will my friends and family treat me the same way? Am I going to lose my job? It was a really difficult time for me and at the time, I didn’t know what resources were available to help me get through this.” If you recognize these concerns: you are not alone!
