MS Awareness Week
MS Awareness Week
As many of you know by now Monday sees the start of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week organised by the UK’s MS Trust. The theme of this year’s campaign is why we need to have more MS specialists. You can read up here about the campaign.
They have produced a brilliant multiple sclerosis infographic which we would love you to share with family and friends.
Thanks very much in advance!
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness
As many of you will know tomorrow sees the beginning of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week .
As part of my reading for a few awareness posts I can across a statement which astounded me. That 50% of people with multiple sclerosis have at some point been mistaken for being drink.
Now I know of one incident where this was the case some years ago. And my mother in law who suffered from Motor Neurone Disease would appear drunk after one glass of wine. But I don’t know how common it actually is.
But my question is “Has anyone ever mistaken you for being drunk because of your MS?”
Why?
Well we are planning on running an anti-discrimination campaign after MS Awareness Week has finished and would like to get as much hard information as possible.
It would be great if you could share any stories about discriminatory behaviour against you , due to your MS, in the comments section below.
Thanks very much for your help with our campaign.
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week
As you may know the National MS Society have designated March 2 – 8 as MS Awareness Week 2015. They are asking everyone to ” take action to help others learn more about MS and what they can do to make a difference”.
To help with we have produce the image below. We would be very grateful if you could like and share with everyone you know.
