A diagnosis of MND can feel overwhelming. You, your family and everyone close to you may need time to adjust.

This section provides answers to questions you might have at this time.
- what about my plans?
- what are the likely symptoms I can expect?
- how will MND affect my everyday life?
- is MND inherited?
