Live In Motor Neurone Care
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones. Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.
Supporting Motor Neurone Disease at home
How individuals react to the final diagnosis varies greatly from person to person. For some, knowing there is a clear cause of their symptoms comes as a total relief; for others, it can come like a thunderbolt completely out of the blue. Whatever reaction you have is completely normal and there is a whole range of advice, support and information available.
