Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and the body. 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. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the United States and 2.1 million worldwide.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society addresses the challenges of each person affected by MS. To fulfill this mission, the society funds cutting-edge research, drives change through advocacy, facilitates professional education, collaborates with MS organizations around the world, and provides programs and services designed to help people living with MS and their families move forward with their lives. The society is dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. Join the movement at nationalMSsociety.org.
