Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects approximately 100,000 people in the UK. Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, and it is twice as common in women as in men. Scotland has one of the highest rates of MS in the world.

The symptoms of MS can be very variable, but might include numbness, vision problems, difficulties with walking and fatigue. Most often, the disease follows a relapsing-remitting course at first, during which the symptoms come and go.

There is currently no cure for MS.

Dr Georgia Andreopoulou (Academic Physiotherapist) and Dr Don Mahad (Senior Clinical Research Fellow) are investigating fatigability induced by exercise in patients with progressive MS.

Georgia and Don split their time between clinical care appointments at the Anne Rowling Clinic and undertaking urgently needed research. Working with people living with MS motivates them to do everything they can to make a difference.
