Multiple sclerosis is a lifelong, incurable and unpredictable condition. No one can predict how quickly the disease will progress after diagnosis, how effective treatments will be (where available - for many people there are no effective treatments for their form of MS) or which symptoms will occur.
That's why the MS Trust's enquiry service is so important for people with MS - we have a team of experienced information officers available via a freephone line, email and Facebook who provide evidenced-based, constructive and up-to-date information on any topic concerning MS. For example, in September we fielded enquiries on drug treatments, the use of medicinal cannabis, fatigue, counselling and stem cell therapy.
The need for this service is as pressing today as it ever has been. September 2018 was our fifth busiest month ever for enquiries (July and August were also among the top ten busiest.) We are committed to continuing to offer this service for free - which is why donations like yours are so important to us; we receive no central or local government funding for this or any other service that we offer.
Thank you so much for supporting the MS Trust and enabling us to continue to provide a friendly, reassuring and helpful voice to people with MS across the United Kingdom. It's only because of you that we can do so - we are truly grateful.
With very best wishes
