NDIS Support for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can bring unique challenges, but the right supports can make everyday life easier, safer, and more fulfilling. At Diverge Supports, we provide tailored NDIS support for people with MS in Adelaide, helping you stay independent, connected, and confident.
What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). In MS, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering (myelin) around nerves. This causes scarring (sclerosis) and disrupts the way messages are sent between the brain and the rest of the body.
MS is often called an “unpredictable disease” because symptoms can vary greatly between people and even change over time. Some people may experience mild symptoms, while others may face more complex challenges that require daily support.
There are different types of MS, including:
Relapsing-remitting MS
symptoms flare up (relapse) and then improve (remission).
Secondary progressive MS
symptoms worsen more steadily over time after an initial relapsing-remitting course.
Primary progressive MS
gradual worsening of symptoms from the start, without relapses.
Understanding your type of MS helps tailor the right supports for your needs.
Common Symptoms of MS
MS affects each person differently, but common symptoms can include:
Physical Symptoms:
• Fatigue and lack of energy
• Muscle weakness or stiffness
• Tremors or involuntary movements
• Problems with balance and coordination
• Difficulty walking or mobility challenges
• Numbness or tingling in limbs
• Pain or discomfort in muscles and joints
Neurological Symptoms:
• Blurred or double vision
• Dizziness or vertigo
• Problems with bladder or bowel control
• Difficulty swallowing
• Speech problems
Cognitive & Emotional Symptoms:
• Memory difficulties
• Trouble concentrating
• Slower processing of information
• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Because MS symptoms can change over time, it’s important to have flexible supports that adapt to your needs.
