Young people
MS is most often diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40 but children and teenagers can also develop it. Young people may also be caring for someone with MS.
Please get in touch if you have any comments about this website or about how MS Society Scotland can better support you. Or maybe you would like to share your experiences with others - we would love to publish your stories on this page.

He wrote an essay for his Higher English called 'The sound of the second hand on the clock' about his experiences with MS. It is very emotional, uplifting and inspirational.
