Lift your voice for World MS Day

The MS Ireland Branch Training Webinar will take place on Wednesday, 3rd May at 4pm. 

Spring is in the air, and we’re all getting out and about a bit more. With just over a week to go until The May 50K 2023 kicks off, there’s still plenty of time to get signed up and challenge yourself to walk run or roll 50 kilometres in the month of May. All fundraising is done through our website here where you can log your KM’s, hook up to your fitness devices and blog your way through the month. 

To celebrate World MS Day, MS Ireland has been given the exciting opportunity of a radio takeover on Galway’s Flirt FM/101.3 

Are you ready for a Fiesta?

MS Ireland is delighted to share that Sativex has been recommended for reimbursement, subject to a managed access programme. Details of the managed access programme are yet to be shared but MS Ireland will be monitoring this closely and liaising with the Department of Health for updates which we will be sharing with our community. If you think that this medication would be suitable for you, we recommend speaking to your neurologist.

I will always remember the day my MS was diagnosed. Summer of 2010. It was a hot one.

Body image and its association with well-being in people with and without multiple sclerosis

Researchers from UCD and St Vincents University Hospital are inviting people living with MS, as well as those who are not living with the condition to take part in a study which aims to explore the attitudes people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have towards their bodies. The research will also investigate interoceptive awareness which refers to an awareness of what is going on inside your body at any given time. Additionally, researchers aim to assess the high prevalence of sexual dysfunction in people living with MS and examine its relationship with other dimensions of body image, depression and interoceptive awareness.

MS Ireland is delighted to have a number of our projects included in the recently launched report on the Neuro-Mapping Project by Minister Anne Rabbitte. MS Ireland has three projects cited namely the Cognitive Rehabilitation Project, the Active Neuro Project and the DSP sponsored CEP Physiotherapy Assistant programme. Full report available here and more details here
