Joan Alaboson, a PhD student in the Department of Psychology at Maynooth University, supervised by Dr Rebecca Maguire and Dr Laura Coffey, conducted an online survey  exploring the peer support needs of (1) people living with MS, and (2) family members/friends who provide care, help or support to someone with MS.

Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) brings a unique set of challenges, both physical and emotional. One of the most challenging emotions is guilt. Whether it's feeling like a burden or guilt over not being able to work or engage in activities as before, or simply needing extra care, these feelings can be overwhelming.

My name is Stefan I'm 32 and live in London. I was diagnosed with MS in 2017. I am a teacher, a poet and a huge swimmer. I hope you enjoy this poem and also hope that you know that you are not by yourself in dealing with MS. I wrote this poem because my friend thought it would be a good idea and that it would help me. He was right and now I want to share my experiences with you. Always remember you are not alone! Enjoy the poem.

MS Ireland’s voluntary Branches are primarily run by people with MS and their families. They are governed by an elected committee to organise the activities of the Branch including all the services and fundraising activities. Voluntary Branches work very closely with the regional offices.

The voluntary Branches below provide local support and services to people and families with MS in their own communities. The work of the Branch depends on the resources it has, the needs of people in the community and the size of the Branch.
