People affected by MS look to the
MS Society of Canada to provide information about MS diagnosis,
symptoms, treatments, research, programs and related topics such as employment,
insurance and family issues. By obtaining the most up-to-date information
about the disease, people affected by MS can become more knowledgeable
about MS, more aware of resources, and better able to make informed decisions
and take control of an unpredictable and complicated disease.
MS Society staff utilize many community and academic resources to inform clients about MS issues. ASK MS is one such resource. It is an ever-growing internal
database, which contains a wide spectrum of print material regarding multiple
sclerosis; from research and scientific papers to books and articles written
by persons with MS relevant to anyone dealing with MS from a neurologist
to a layperson.
The Multiple Sclerosis Society of
Canada, Atlantic Division, provides accurate and up-to-date information
about MS. Information can be accessed by phoning
1-800-268-7582 or by emailing info.atlantic@mssociety.ca
In
addition to providing information on MS and related issues,
the Atlantic Division provides referral services and connects people
with MS to vital community support resources. Some community
agencies for which we can provide contact information include:
- Provincial
prescription drug programs
- Homecare
agencies
- Equipment
programs
Contacting
these agencies, or any other referrals, is a personal decision.
The responsibility is left to the client. There
is no charge to obtain information or referral services. However,
information is distributed with the understanding that people
use it for their own use and not for reproduction or profit.
