Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, 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 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S., and 2.5 million worldwide.
MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn't. We help each person address the challenges of living with MS through our 50 state network of chapters. We fund more MS research, provide more services to people with MS, offer more professional education and further more advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world. The Society is dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. We are people who want to do something about MS now. Join the movement at www.jointhemovement.org.

This is an excellent video. It explains the struggle SO well. It is so misunderstood and extremely hard to explain. You somehow explained so much in 3:36. The NMSS, is fantastic. You helped me through my diagnosis and have been a constant source in my constant shifting MS. God bless you. Peace out.
This is such a well done video, and I think I will pass this on to my former supervisor, whose argument was that she had met people with MS, but they were not that bad, so she wondered why I was having issues, and honestly, just did not believe me.
I think I will send this to her during MS week in March.
MS just sucks. There's no easy way to explain it to people who don't live with it daily. The great hope is that there are so many out there looking for a cure. This video is an excellent reminder. Great job NMSS!
I have progressive MS! Its determination and a strong spirit and additude that I wont let it beat me DOWN! I HAVE BALANCE WALKING & HEAT PROBLEMS! I REFUSE TO USE A WHEEL CHAIR A MESSAGE TO ALL I TELL MYSELF THERE ARE OTHERS WITH MORE PROBLEMS THEN ME.I JUST WISH THAT MS COULD GET AS MUCH ATTENTION AS BREAST CANCER,HEART,ETC..
My sister has it. she was diagnosed when she was nineteen and then she had her first baaby when she was 22 and she couldnt take her medication so immiedieately after she gave birth, the MS triggered rapidly. on a wheelchair now, it affects her legs the most. but she doesnt regret her son and is on the road to recovery
Wonderful!!! Lets Raise MS Awareness!! I was diagnosed Feb 2007!!! But took 7 YRS and after my 2nd child it got so bad my arm went paralized, my son was only 4 weeks. Thats when they figured what was happening to me all these years. I thought I was just a Klutz ROFL!!!
I have had MS for 25 years and I haven't stopped moving!Ms helped meunderstand about moving and I exercise every day now and am on the Avonex treatment, once a week for 5 years. I can walk 2 miles now(every morning I do this).
