Support groups

It may be helpful to discuss issues relating to MS, treatments and management of symptoms and life spent living with the condition with other people with first hand experience of MS. Some people like to meet other people with MS to discuss issues face to face, whilst others are more comfortable with the distance provided by talking to people online.
