MND Diagnosis

An MND diagnosis is harrowing. It changes all elements of your activities of daily living as you have known it pre diagnosis. 

You feel worried and distressed wondering how long you have left given there is no cure. The journey to the diagnosis is difficult and there is no over view pre diagnosis putting your presentation together. 

It impacts on your mental health which in turn impacts on the relationships around you. It is increasingly difficult to express yourself as your voice changes as your diagnosis progresses. The lack of sleep is difficult to manage which then impacts on your mobility which increases your risks of falls. You struggle to keep weight on and your appetite is variable depending on your mood.
