Emyams is the East Midlands' very own support network for young poeple with MS. We aim to be able to get you in touch with other young people with MS near you, provide you with the support you need and the events you want, and provide you with access to information, group meetings and outings. It's a good way to learn more about how to deal with everyday life as a young person with MS, from other young people with MS.
