MS Support Groups

"Do you attend MS support groups? You may find this interesting."

In this study 65% of participants had attended a MS support group meeting at least once. 

Individuals who had never attended a support group were more likely to reside in urban or suburban areas, reported lower interference from MS symptoms and fewer limitations in activities of daily living. 

Women without a helper and people with greater interference from MS symptoms were more likely to perceive a need for a support group.
