MS Ireland has launched a new publication, Mood and Emotions: Practical Living for Everyday Life with MS, at the MS Ireland National Conference, held on 15 November in Cork.

The resource focuses on the emotional impact of living with multiple sclerosis, an area that can be overlooked. Many people with MS experience changes in mood, stress levels, and emotional responses, and understanding these experiences can play a key role in managing everyday life with the condition.

As part of our A to Z of MS series, Nadia brings us to the letter N. For her, N is for Nostalgia — an attic full of old memories sparks a warm reflection on her past and her MS journey.

Do you have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), or do you care for someone who has MS? Can you help make a difference for yourself and others who have MS? We want you to join our Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) Advisory Board and help shape a clinical trial on the impact of MS on people’s cognition.

Don’t miss the next Unspeakable Bits webinar, “Becoming Invisible Because of MS”, on November 20th at 7pm.
