'I went to a dark place following my MS diagnosis, but now I hope my experience can help others'

A Welsh-language presenter has opened up about his struggle with MS. Daf Wyn, who lives in Cardiff and is a notable face on S4C's Prynhawn Da and Heno, was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis in May of last year.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance. It's a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild and in many cases, it's possible to treat symptoms.

Daf admits that when he initially found out he had the condition, his mind went to a "dark place". As a fit 30 year old man at the time, who had run several half marathons and walked to the foot of the world's highest mountain, the diagnosis came as a complete blow for him. But since then, the 31-year-old presenter hopes to use his experience to help others who may be going through the same situation.
