You can find all questions on my blog: https://ms-perspektive.com/027-ms-in-poland

This time I'm talking to Dominika Czarnota – Szałkowska about how people with multiple sclerosis can get the best support who live in Poland. Dominika has been working as Secretary General for the Polish Multiple Sclerosis Society for many years. And even so she is not affected by MS herself, she is an expert for available options when it comes to treatment but also for finding emotional and mental support.

Which website can you recommend for people living with MS in Poland?

Finally, what message of hope or encouragement would you like to share with individuals living with MS in Poland?

You have one life to live, don't give up on it. Fight for your happiness. In Poland we say: you have to play with the cards that fate has given you. Try to make the best of it. In multiple sclerosis we are seeing enormous medical progress and this is very encouraging, I think. It may happen that you need support in various aspects of your life and an organization such as the Polish MS Society is here to provide it.

Many thanks to Dominika for providing so many great tips and sharing her knowledge and of course for all her efforts on improving the life of those living with Multiple Sclerosis in Poland.

See you soon and try to make the best out of your life,
Nele
