OzMS - Australian Multiple Sclerosis Peer Support

Multiple Sclerosis (known simply as MS) is a neurological disorder of the central nervous system of unknown cause in which the body's immune system attacks myelin in the brain and spinal cord. Whether the disease manifests in repeated episodes of inflammation or as a chronic condition, it results in multiple scars, or scleroses, on the myelin sheath, leading to impairment or loss of nerve function, this is a very brief definition!

Approximately 15,000 Australians Suffer from MS ! Multiple Sclerosis is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50 ! Multiple Sclerosis affects twice as many women than men!

Our Mission - Peer Support - Information - Freedom

This site endeavours to help People with MS through online peer support, members helping each other, we have MS, we know what you're going through, we live it each day. We offer many ways for you to contribute to the information on this site, information that you can't get out of a text book, information that only people that suffer from this disease can honestly give you, for example, symptoms and how you feel, is this normal, is often asked.

Of course we also do our best to provide the technical information as well, obviously we are not GPs or Neurologists, so please always consult your GP - Neurologist or the Australian Multiple Sclerosis Society (MS Society) before undertaking any treatment that other people with MS recommend, its only logical! We are not affiliated with any MS drug company or the MS Society, so, as people that suffer from MS, we will not push you into any of the treatments merely provide information from a sufferers perspective on what works and what doesn't for each person, we are all different, we all have a story to tell, we have a right to express an opinion from our own perspective!
