MS looks different for everyone, and it can change from day to day. Some symptoms you can see. Many you can't.

However you manage your MS, you don't owe anyone an explanation for it. 🧡

Say hello to Karine! She lives in Edinburgh and has primary progressive MS.

As MS has affected the use of her hands, Karine has had to find new ways of doing everyday things. Assistive technology has helped her adapt, from dictation software that supported her studies to accessible gaming equipment and smart glasses.

It even helped Karine achieve one of her goals: graduating with a degree at the end of last year.

On our blog, Karine shares how embracing technology has helped her adapt and keep doing the things that matter to her.

What a great blog Kerry Cooper 🧡 So positive and relatable. We fight on! 💪

When Kerry, from Ayrshire, was diagnosed with MS 18 years ago, she thought she would lose her independence, her mobility and the life she loved.

Like many people, she turned to the internet looking for answers. But instead she only found fear and uncertainty.

On our Community Blog, she shares what she's learned - from finding reliable information to making treatment decisions that were right for her.
