WHAT IS MS?
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological condition. Symptoms vary greatly but can include vision problems, fatigue, numbness, pins and needles and problems with mobility.
Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. There is no cure yet, but treatments include physiotherapy and drugs such as steroids and painkillers. Many sufferers like Karen find reiki, reflexology, homepathy and hypnotherapy help ease symptoms.
