Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable and often disabling disease of the central nervous system. MS interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The advancement, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of twenty and fifty, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the US and 2.1 million worldwide. Advertisement
