Despite the availability of scientific knowledge and innovative, specific and selective medicines, it remains an underrecognized and undertreated disease, despite a serious disability that severely affects a person’s school, work and social life.

Tomorrow, Monday 27 May, from 9 am to 4 pm, in the reception area of the Sondrio Hospital, an information point will be set up: neurologists will be available for users to delve deeper into the issues related to early recognition of symptoms and the importance of arriving at a specific diagnosis and treatment paths in a timely manner. Information materials will also be distributed.
