It's World MS Day and this year's theme is #MyMSDiagnosis 🧡 Being newly or recently diagnosed with MS can feel overwhelming. The first thing to remember is there's a whole community of people here to help. Keep checking in with us throughout the day for info and support!
It’s been 10yrs since I had breast cancer & a double mastectomy.Since then I’ve learnt to love my scars. But that has taken time. 2day on BBC Morning Live I’m doing a piece about body acceptance after cancer treatment. I hope it gives inspiration to anyone on the cancer journey💛
There's still poor awareness of early #MS symptoms in doctors & public. So Dr Jaime Imitola Jaime Imitola MD., FAAN has created VISIBL-MS, a sign showing early MS signs. Aimed too at Hispanic pop to tackle health literacy. Early awareness = early diagnosis/treatment. realtalkms.com/358

Myelin repair Thrilled to see Cambridge University doing a trial to see if metformin & clemastine can repair myelin, the protective coating around nerve fibres, damaged in ppl with MS. Funded by MS Society UK. Such an unmet need. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Over half of ppl with MS are 50+, yet trials, treatment guidelines & diagnostic tools have not kept pace, say top neuros in "Call to Action" in Nat Rev Neurology. Result: diagnosis blind spots, under-treatment & missed opportunities. Lead author:AnnekeVdWalt bit.ly/3IIZRQM
