This week, March 8-14, is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week!

We're already a few days in, but better late than never. Multiple Sclerosis is not on my list of diagnoses, but it does affect several of my loved ones so raising awareness for it is a cause dear to my heart.

Let's look at the facts of Multiple Sclerosis or MS.


What is MS? Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, debilitating disease of the central nervous system.


What are the symptoms of MS? Symptoms can vary widely between people, but some of the more common ones are difficulty walking, tingling or numbness, fatigue, weakness, vision problems, bladder and bowel issues, and dizziness. 

What causes MS? No one knows although scientists believe that it can be caused by a combination of factors.


Who can get MS? MS affects 3 times more women than men and is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50.

How many people are affected? Nearly 1 million people in the US have been diagnosed with MS.

What resources are available?
National MS Society
Multiple Sclerosis -MS Connect Group
Moms with Multiple Sclerosis

  1. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 1 month after I turned 47. My grandma is 95 and has had it since she was in her 20s. I have been on Copaxone, the first year was daily and later was on 40 mg 3 times a week which was supposed to help me. It made a tremendous difference for me at first. Although the fatigue is what really gets to me. When I do too much I do start to feel weak, but I had no other choice because my neurologist said this is the only medication for MS. I quit my job because I was a liability, There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment. Around 7 months ago I began to do a lot of research and  was introduced to the Health Herbs Clinic and their effective Multiple Sclerosis treatment.  When I started the MS treatment I felt like a miracle had happened. Feel as good as I can feel. Started driving including on a freeway.  The herbal treatment is a sensation.. “Just google openpaymentsdata and see how much your doctor is getting paid ! AWESOME!!! They make money while we suffer.”  I Just wanted to share for people suffering from this disease to visit healthherbsclinic. com it’s a 10 out of 10 from me! I Adhere anyone reading this to try natural approach.
