World-MS-Tag: New hope and support for those affected in Aalen!

Aalen, Deutschland - The ALSEL group Aalen invites you to a special meeting on May 30, 2025, on the occasion of the World Ms Day, which focuses on the exchange and support of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The group pursues the goal of drawing attention to this chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system and promoting understanding of the challenges with which those affected are faced with. Around 280,000 people in Germany are currently diagnosed with MS, whereby women are affected twice as often as men.

In particular, young adults are affected by this autoimmune disease, the diagnosis of which is usually between the ages of 20 and 40. The symptoms of MS can be varied and range from motor and visual disturbances to emotional disorders. Prejudices that MS patients represent as only wheelchair users can be found frequently and do not correspond to reality. Some of those affected even find the diagnosis as a liberation, since they can gain clarity about their symptoms.

World Ms Day 2025

This year the World Ms Day is under the motto "1,000 faces and yours: life with multiple sclerosis". In addition to the meeting in Aalen, Amsel organized various events on May 28, 2025, including live lectures, virtual seminars and a stand in Stuttgart. In these events, reports by those affected such as Antonia, Julian and Elena are presented, which provide insights into their symptoms and strategies to cope with the disease.

At the meetings of the Amsel Group in Aalen, the exchange between those affected is particularly emphasized.

Here those affected can share their experiences and learn how to deal with the challenges of everyday life.
