Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Approximately 120 people in the Bailiwick of Guernsey and 85,000 in the whole of Britain suffer from Multiple Sclerosis (MS for short). MS is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild such as numbness in the limbs or severe -- paralysis or loss of vision. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40 but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects can be lifelong. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are giving hope to those affected by the disease. Multiple Sclerosis , sometimes known as disseminated sclerosis, is the most common organic disease of the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). It's also one of the most baffling. It affects more women than men, although it's not known why this is.
