What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? It is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, characterized by inflammation of nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It 
also causes loss or destruction of the nerve’s myelin sheath, which functions to insulate the nerve and speed conduction of nerve signals.
Multiple sclerosis affects an estimated 2.5 million people worldwide and is one of the major causes of disability in adults under the age of 65. Approximately 330,000 people in the United States are afflicted with multiple sclerosis and about 200 new cases are diagnosed each week. Multiple sclerosis is typically diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, and the disease is two to three times as common in women as in men.
With that many new cases diagnosed each day isn’t it a shame that 40% of the public can’t name one symptom of multiple sclerosis?
This is a topic I will be commenting of frequently as my mother had MS, so it is very important to me that we raise awareness and work to find a cure.

My mother was one of those people who could find humor in anything and never allowed herself, or anyone, to be sad or negative. So toward the end my mother was bed ridden and had to depend on others to get her what she needed or wanted. My father in jest always gave her a hard time about doing her errands, so just to spite him she would often call myself or my husband to bring her, her favorite candy bar, Hersey’s with almonds or a pack of cigarettes (she said she was going to die any ways why quit smoking when she enjoyed it so much).

MS is a chronic, often disabling, disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another.
