Life in Lockdown with MS: Lived experience of those living with MS during lockdown. (June 2020)
This report from the MS Society highlights the issues people living with MS have been facing during the Coronavirus pandemic and how the Society have been able to support them. The results follow a survey conducted with 181 people on the UK MS Register.
The report finds that many people have felt anxious, isolated and concerned about the future. Some had seen a deterioration in their condition, manifesting in both their physical and mental wellbeing. The longer term consequences of being unable to access the services and support normally used to manage MS may be seen for years to come.
