💜 This week is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Week, aiming to raise understanding of MS, a lifelong neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. 💜

MS can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:
• Fatigue and weakness.
• Difficulty with balance and coordination.
• Numbness or tingling.
• Vision problems.
• Cognitive changes.

Every person’s experience of MS is different, and symptoms can come and go. While there’s currently no cure, treatments, therapies, and support can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
If you or someone you care for is living with MS, speak to your GP or visit the NHS website for advice, resources, and support services.
