Conditions

Motor Neurone Disease causes the messages from the motor neurones gradually stop reaching the muscles.

This leads the muscles to weaken, stiffen and waste. MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. Symptoms often progress at varying speeds, which makes the course of the disease difficult to predict.

MND is life-shortening and there is no cure. Although the disease will progress, symptoms can be managed to help achieve the best possible quality of life.
