You may have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), or you may be awaiting a diagnosis. If you have been recently diagnosed, you may be wondering what’s going to happen, and what it means for you, for your family and for your life.

You may have come from an appointment with a neurologist who 'helpfully' tells you to go on and live your life and that they will see you in 6 months time.

You are not alone. MS is most commonly diagnosed in people aged 20-40, many of whom continue to lead happy, fulfilling lives despite their diagnosis. A diagnosis of MS is not the end of the story.

The Putting the pieces together website is an information resource for people aged 18-40. We want to provide clear, accurate information that is relevant for you, as well as bringing you stories and tips about young people living full lives with MS through our MS Community pages.  Browse the links on the left-hand navigation menu to find out more about different aspects of MS.

You can sign up to our email alerts to keep in touch with news and events from the world of MS.
