Our relationships with the people around us, whether family, friends, partners or work colleagues, are important for our emotional health and practical support. But sometimes MS can feel like a barrier to those relationships, making it harder to maintain the ones that matter to us or develop new ones in the future. So today we are going to dive into some of those issues. We will be joined by Billy from shift. MS who lives with MS himself and Flora from or MS Trust helpline.
