The process of acceptance of a chronic disease like MS is very difficult for the person himself and family. To address this challenge and combat loneliness, helped create along with other people with MS, a group that united everyone, including family and friends. Gather all 3rd Saturdays of each month at the Hospital Inf. D. Pedro, Aveiro. We do various activities, from lectures on EM sessions with various specialists and how to live better with the disease, for family sessions, as well as initiatives outdoors and still actively participate in the World Day of MS every year. The group has existed since 2008 and is called Friends EM Aveiro. We helped also create equivalent groups Friends and EM Chaves Coimbra, the latter in 2012, which gave rise to the present District of Coimbra Delegation of SPEM. Therefore, one need have multiplied the good, because we realized that the community has better solve common problems!
