My journey with MS
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic illness involving your central nervous system (CNS). The immune system attacks myelin, which is the protective layer around nerve fibres. This causes inflammation and scar tissue, or lesions and can make it hard for your brain to send signals to the rest of your body. MS is the most common neurological disease that typically presents at an early age, adolescent years.
On MS Awareness day people are encouraged to bring awareness, share their stories and help people to understand how to help those with conditions that are not always visible but can have a significant impact on quality of life.
Jan Coleman, Therapy Pro Melbourne Social Worker, has been very brave in sharing her story.
