<\/p>\n<p>She ended her poignant statement by saying: &#8220;I&#8217;d love to connect with other people who have MS as I&#8217;m still trying to learn and understand more of what it all looks like, and kind of wrap my head around it too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zofia has presenting her Capital Dance show for over two years. <\/p>\n<p>Before this, she was a DJ Promotions Assistant, and a Presenter on Select Radio. <\/p>\n<p>She appeared from the Capital studio after sharing the news of her MS. <\/p>\n<p>Talking to her doting fans, Zofia said: &#8220;Thank you so much for the messages about my last couple of stories. <\/p>\n<p>New pop feud as original Sugababes take brutal swipe at former members after getting back together<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really debated sharing this, but I really wanted to connect with some other people who are also going through a similar diagnosis, so that&#8217;s why I chose to share it and obviously it&#8217;s going to be part of my life so. &#8221; <\/p>\n<p>She also discussed what her first symptoms were, after saying a lot of people had asked her.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing: &#8220;I will write something tomorrow where I&#8217;ve properly thought of everything.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Zofia also told fans how she was &#8220;convinced nothing was wrong.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>What is multiple sclerosis (MS)?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/resulting-damaged-myelin-red-disturbed-918870751.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex condition that affects the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an autoimmune disease, meaning the body\u2019s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective coating (myelin) around nerve fibres.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This disrupts the flow of electrical signals and causes a range of symptoms that can vary wildly from person to person.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The good news? MS isn\u2019t a death sentence, and with advances in treatment, many people live full and active lives.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, over 130,000 people are living with MS, and around 7,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s typically diagnosed in people in their 20s and 30s, with women three times more likely to develop it than men.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite its challenges, many with MS find strength and resilience they never thought possible.<\/p>\n<p>Common symptoms of MS are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fatigue: Not your average tiredness\u2014this is bone-deep exhaustion.<\/li>\n<li>Vision problems: Blurred or double vision, or even temporary vision loss.<\/li>\n<li>Numbness and tingling: Often in the face, arms, or legs.<\/li>\n<li>Muscle weakness: Making everyday tasks feel like climbing a mountain.<\/li>\n<li>Mobility issues: Trouble walking or balancing.<\/li>\n<li>Cognitive difficulties: Memory lapses or a \u201cfoggy\u201d brain.<\/li>\n<li>Spasms and stiffness: Muscles that just won\u2019t cooperate.<\/li>\n<li>Bladder and bowel problems: A less glamorous but common challenge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MS is unpredictable\u2014you might have periods of remission where symptoms vanish, followed by flare-ups when they return.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This \u201con-again, off-again\u201d nature can be frustrating and means people can be in anticipation of a flare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While there\u2019s no cure yet, treatments like disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and slow progression.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sharing a photo in a hospital gown, she said: &#8220;I nearly cancelled my MRI scan because I couldn&#8217;t be bothered to take out my hair extensions as they had metal in them. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I delayed my consultant appointment because the last one they gave clashed with my lash appointment.
