MS Society Cymru This year the Cardiff Ukulele Festival is supporting the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society . MS is a condition of the central nervous system. In MS, the coating around nerve fibres (called myelin) is damaged, causing a range of symptoms. More than 100,000 people in the UK have MS. Symptoms usually start in your 20s and 30s and it affects almost three times as many women as men. Once diagnosed, MS stays with you for life. MS is complex, and has many symptoms. Most people won't experience them all, certainly not at the same time. Symptoms might include fatigue, vision problems and difficulties with walking, but MS is different for everyone. There are lots of options for treating and managing MS. They include drug treatments, exercise and physiotherapy, diet and alternative therapies. MS is not directly inherited; there is no single gene that causes it - unlike some conditions, like cystic fibrosis for example. It is not clear why people further away from the equator are more likely to get MS, but it is possible that something in the environment, perhaps bacteria or a virus, plays a role. This theory is still unproven and many people who do not have MS would have also been exposed to these viruses, so just like genes, they are unlikely to be the whole story. There is also a growing amount of research that suggests that a lack of vitamin D could be a factor in causing MS. A number of studies have looked at smoking in relation to MS, and have found that smoking appears to increase someone’s risk of developing MS. It’s not yet clear exactly why this is, although one theory is that the chemicals in the cigarette smoke affect the immune system. There are lots of options for treating and managing MS. They include drug treatments, exercise and physiotherapy, diet and alternative therapies. We don't know the cause and we haven't yet found a cure, but research is progressing fast. The MS Society is the UK’s leading MS charity. To find out more Email:[email protected] Tel: 0208 438 0700, or visit http://www.mssociety.org.uk/

Why won't you come on over Vale-[C]rie? … Vale-[Dm]rie? … Vale-[C]rie? … Vale-[Dm]rie?

No ukes

Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water

And I think of all the things, what you're doing

And in my head I make a [Dm] picture

Repeat this x 2

Cos [F] since I've come on home well my [Em] body's been a mess

And I've [F] missed your ginger hair and the [Em] way you like to dress

[F] Won't you come on over [C] stop making a fool out of [G] me

Why won't you come on over Vale-[C]rie? … Vale-[Dm]rie? … Vale-[C]rie? … Vale-[Dm]rie?

Finish on

[F] Why don't you come on [Dm] over Valer- [C]ie?
