There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep. We need restful sleep to fuel our bodies and our minds, balance our moods, and support our health and wellness.

MS symptoms like bladder problems and pain, emotional distress, depression, and primary sleep disorders like sleep apnea, can all prevent or interrupt sleep. Join our sleep specialists to learn about the factors that interfere with sleep in people with MS and the strategies that can help you get the sleep you need.

What is Smoldering MS? 2023

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Have you ever wondered why your MS seems to worsen even though you’ve had no new lesions on your MRI and no recent relapses? This type of disability progression has begun to be described by MS experts as ‘Smoldering MS’. Smoldering MS refers to an underlying disease process that begins with the onset of MS and causes slow loss of neurons and axons even while episodes of acute inflammation causing individual relapses are being managed. In other words, the MS is simmering on low even while the disease is less active. Join us to learn about this new understanding of the MS disease process.
