MS & the Family MS & the Family

Can Do MS Programs Consultant

 

MS comes with many challenges for both the individual and family living with MS. As a chronic condition, MS is present every day even when medication is taken, stretches are done, and a positive attitude is maintained. Symptoms that interfere on Monday may not get in the way on Wednesday.  Changes occur in family roles and everyday functions. MS can be expensive and usually requires many decisions to be made over the years, especially about treatment. 

Sounds pretty challenging doesn't it?
