Motto: "Multiple sclerosis - anything goes, but just differently..."

On Wednesday, 31 May, the Chemnitz multiple sclerosis self-help group "Offensiv" is organising various events in cooperation with the Chemnitz Health Department at the AOK Chemnitz, Müllerstr. 41, to raise public awareness of multiple sclerosis (MS), those affected and their needs.

A lecture on the topic of "Nutrition and multiple sclerosis" will take place from 10 to 11 am .
In the subsequent open discussion round, "Offensiv" members will present their work.

From 1.30 p. m. to around 3 p.m. , Dr Domke (specialist in neurology at the MS Focus Practice Chemnitz) will provide information on the latest findings on the treatment of MS patients and will be available to answer questions.

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the "Cognitive Training" therapy group will be offering taster courses for people with acquired, organic brain damage (e.g. MS, stroke or accident victims).

Those affected, relatives and interested members of the public are cordially invited to attend.
It is of course also possible to attend only some of the events.

All venues are wheelchair accessible. Car parking spaces are available.
