Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects nerves in your central nervous system. That's your brain and spinal cord. In MS, the coating (called myelin) that protects your nerves is damaged. This causes a range of symptoms like blurred vision and problems with how we move, think and feel. 

The MS Society is the UK’s largest charity dedicated to supporting individuals affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). We provide local and national services, fund and promote research and advocate for the MS community. Local groups are established across the country helping provide support and community where people live.

More than 150,000 people in the UK have MS. In the UK people are most likely to find out they have MS in their thirties and forties. But the first signs of MS often start years earlier. Many people notice their first symptoms years before they get their diagnosis.
