Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, unpredictable autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It poses unique challenges for people with MS and their care partners because the symptoms (many of which are invisible to others) are so variable from day to day and month to month.

You aren't alone―this compassionate guide includes resources for connecting with the right MS care provider, building a care team, managing your emotions and stress, and getting the support you need. Plus, you'll get tips for making lifestyle choices that help you along your MS path.
