MULTIPLE sclerosis (MS) sufferers in Essex and Herts can attend an information and discussion day organised by the MS Society.

The event gives people the chance to learn more about the condition.

Organiser Pamela Little, of the MS Society Herts and Essex region, said: 'This special course is carefully designed to help those recently diagnosed with MS through what is an extremely hard time, for both understanding and coming to terms.

'We also hope to attract people whose symptoms may just have started to bother them, and others who have simply been reluctant to seek out information.'

The Getting to Grips with MS session is at the Corinthian Conference Suite, Stevenage Arts and Leisure Centre, on Saturday, June 3, from 10am to 4pm.

Family members and friends are welcome. The session costs £15 which includes refreshments. Ring Pamela Little on 01438 239019 for details.
