MS happens to families, not just to individuals. When a person is diagnosed with MS, there is immediate impact on all who love them. Family members experience similar emotions to adapting to MS in their lives as the person with MS–fear, guilt, anger, denial, grief, anxiety.
You probably have many questions about MS – what will happen to my family member with MS, how can we plan, how do we manage the unpredictability of the disease?
The National MS Society is here to help you navigate the challenges of living MS with a personalized response to your unique needs. Our MS Navigators can answer your questions and access information about the options available to you. We are your partner in your journey with living with this disease.
We offer an extensive variety of programs, services and resources for you and your family. These resources can be accessed in person, online, by phone and by mail. To learn more contact an MS Navigator at 1-800-344-4867 or e-mail contactusnmss@nmss.org.
