Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis can be very difficult, but it’s important to remember that you can manage your symptoms, and you are not alone. Following the Overcoming MS program can have a very positive effect on quality of life, and we recommend start it as quickly as possible. In the short term, you could also consider:
Talking to others - this is a deeply personal decision, but opening up to friends and family can provide a valuable source of emotional support.
Finding support from the MS community - talking to other people with MS, either in person or online, can be a great source of information from people who have gone through the exact same things as you. We recommended our online forum and the OMS Circles for this.
Reading others’ accounts - the OMS Stories of Hope is a collection of videos showing how people have been able to overcome MS.
