Abstract

Multiple sclerosis generally starts in early adult life and affects more women than men. National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) (2003) estimates that ‘between three and seven people per 100,000 population are diagnosed with MS each year’. The Multiple Sclerosis Society (2005) describes it as ‘The most common neurological disorder among young adults, and affects around 2.5million people in the world, and 85 000 people in the UK. Every week around 50 people in the UK are diagnosed with MS. Diagnosis is usually between 20 and 40 years of age – rarely under 12 or over 55 years of age.’
