The progress, severity and symptoms in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment give hope to those affected by MS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE MS?
More than 400,000 Americans have MS. More than 20,000 people are living with MS in Northern California, and over 35,000 in the state of California.
CAN MS BE CURED?
Not yet. However, advances in treating and understanding MS are made every year and progress in research to find a cure is very encouraging.
HOW DOES THE NATIONAL MS SOCIETY HELP?
The Nat'l MS Society supports more MS research , offers more services for people with MS, provides more MS educational programs and further more MS advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world.
