Multiple Sclerosis

It is important to remember that MS is only one part of a person and not the person.

MS does not represent them, it is not their identity, they are as normal as the next person.

Devics Disease                                                                                                                                                                                           

Also known as Neuromyelitis-Optica, Devics disease is a related condition to multiple sclerosis that is characterised by an attack of Optic Neuritis in both eyes followed by severe inflammation of the spinal cord (Transverse Myelopathy).

Balo’s - Concentric-Sclerosis                                                                                                                                                                   

A rare disease that resembles multiple sclerosis. Clinically, it is very difficult to distinguish Balo’s-Concentric-Sclerosis from MS, however MRI scans will show the lesions in Balo’s to be concentric rings of intact myelin and demyelinated zones.
