"This survey may yet prove to be contentious, but there is no point in avoiding the topic. How the world, and this blog, refers to someone with MS is important. The term used needs to be neutral, empowering for people living with the disease, it should not be patronising and it should not entrench stereotypes."

"Please let us know how you feel about this issue. Have we missed out on any terms you think are more appropriate?"
