March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month.
by yrnej | created - 11 Mar 2015 | updated - 22 Mar 2015 | PublicMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental and sometimes psychiatric problems.
