Christmas is often pictured as a time of joy and happiness. But it also brings a lot of stress and is usually very busy. When you have MS, it can affect your daily life and symptoms.
Helena, from the MS Trust Information and Engagement team, explores some ideas on how to reduce Christmas stress. If you have any further suggestions please let us know and we will share them.

Many many thanks to Susan, Dave, Julia & Andy, Tony, Geoff, Joh & Angie and Richard for giving up 2hours of their time to collect at Didcot Tesco on Friday.
It was a very successful collection, total: £650.31. I really do appreciate you collecting, I know it’s not a fun job but when we can raise that sort of money it’s very worthwhile.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
Some people with MS may experience problems with their speech. This can include slurred speech, poor voice quality and difficulty remembering words. These problems can be frustrating and, at times, can result in distressing experiences.
The MS Trust spoke to speech and language therapist, Suzanne Buckley to find out what causes these problems and learn about some of the practical strategies that can help.
The MS Trust has their own series of podcasts covering a range of topics.
If you’re not sure where to start, here are our top five most popular episodes:

Then click on Support this Cause (for the first time you will need to register a login, and then you can set up your favourites so you don’t have to go through this process each time).
