Helping Yourself

Remaining as active as possible is very important for MS patients. Health professionals, such as occupational, speech, and physical therapists can be extremely beneficial, not only by helping patients adapt to the symptoms of the disease, but also by providing emotional support. In addition, several national organizations provide formal emotional and social support for caregivers as well as for patients. Both on-line and local organizations can also be helpful in teaching patients about MS.
