MS Awareness Week
April 22 - April 28
Help break the silence around MS
MS Awareness Week 2024 will run from 22-28 April. This year they are launching MS Unfiltered. A sensitive and intimate campaign which will shine a light on the MS topics that can feel taboo or difficult to talk about. They’ll be creating a safe space for people to talk honestly and openly about everything from bladder control and sexual dysfunction, to navigating menopause and cultural stigma. It’s a chance for us to all raise awareness of multiple sclerosis and say #LetsTalkMS
Your immune system normally protects you by fighting off infection, but in MS it attacks your nerves by mistake. Your nerves control lots of different parts of your body. That’s why you can get MS symptoms in many parts of your body. It’s also why everyone’s MS is different.
Once diagnosed, MS stays with you for life, but treatments and specialists can help you to manage the condition and its symptoms.
MS can be tough, and for many people talking about it can be challenging. Whether you’re opening up to a friend after being newly diagnosed, or finding the right words to describe symptoms to an employer. Sometimes it feels easier not to say anything at all.
