The first and most important message in planning for the future is to plan to get on with life and live every day to the fullest. Think about things you have always wanted to do or places you have wanted to go and, if possible, do these now – seize the moment and enjoy it.
The first section is an overview and explains why planning for the future can be positive and empowering. The sections after this provide information on specific topics. These topics, from our experience at the MSA Trust, are the things that may need to be thought about when you have MSA. However, everyone is an individual and although some issues may occur, this does vary from person to person. Understanding how different situations may impact on you will assist you to effectively plan and think about how you would want to manage these potential situations.
There is no doubt that thinking through the issues we are talking about on these pages is helpful to most people with MSA. However, it is vital that this is balanced with getting on with living and enjoying what you can do, whilst you can do it.
The MSA Trust is here to support anyone affected by MSA. If you have any questions about the information on this page, please contact us and we will do our best to help you.
