#MSAwarenessWeek

 It's MS Awareness Week, did you know...


Nearly 1 million people live with MS in the United States.

More than 50% of people with MS experience a variety of changes in high-level brain functions including difficulty remembering, learning new information, organizing, problem solving, focusing and maintaining attention. 

The risk of getting MS is higher for those who have a parent living with MS, but that risk is still pretty low.

Over the years mom began to experience more and more symptoms which lead her to retirement around 8 years after being diagnosed.  Mom was a nurse so sitting still was a big change for her, but again she didn't complain and just dealt with it.  Dad continued working and caring for ...
