Did you know that women are three times more likely than men to develop multiple sclerosis (MS)? Many women with MS experience not only physical symptoms but also mental effects like depression and low self-esteem.
In our story, “Beyond the Physical: How MS Affects Your Life,” we delve into this important topic and provide valuable resources for support. Despite the challenges, there are treatments and support groups available to help you navigate life with MS.
As Candice Morgan shared, “MS is not a death sentence. You can have a family, a career, and flourish. I’m living proof of that.” In our new MS education program, we cover everything from risk factors and symptoms to diagnosis and treatment.
