Synopsis

MS is a condition affecting the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). It’s estimated that 130,000 people in the UK have MS. In this podcast we chat to two guests about MS. Simon, from our MS Trust information team, who answers questions from people affected by MS on a daily basis, via email and our MS helpline. He gives us an MS 101 lesson, covering topics such as how MS is diagnosed, who gets MS, what treatments are there for MS and much more.We also chat to Hugh Nibloe who is a Wheelchair Curling World Championships silver medal winner and Wheelchair Curling Paralympian for Team GB who lives with MS. Episode notes- MS Trust what is MS?: mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/what-ms- MS trust how is MS diagnosed?: mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/what-ms/how-ms-diagnosed - MS Trust newly diagnosed: mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/newly-diagnosed- MS Trust  A-Z of MS : mstrust.org.uk/a-z- MS Trust contact us:  mstrust.org.uk/what-we-do/contact-us - MS Awareness week webinars: mstrust.org.uk/MSAW- Diagnosing MS - Lumbar punctu
