MS Strength

It’s multiple sclerosis awareness week again and time to spread knowledge and news about this life-altering condition. Living with it can range from being a small nuisance to being a great daily challenge. No two cases are alike and no one patient presents the entire scope of the disease. Those looking in may assume that a mild case represents the case for everyone, or that a severe case– such as Annette Funicello’s— is the norm. Not so. We are all different in terms of physical symptoms, although we are all united in our general feelings, fears, hopes, and knowledge about multiple sclerosis. Please take the time this week to become aware of what multiple sclerosis means and how it impacts patients. Althought the ideal is to be aware YEAR-ROUND.
