I think it is interesting that they are actually showing an ad for MS. It makes me think that more people are being dignosed with it now. Otherwise, why would they have tv commercials for it?

I had seen a post on FB about a law that Congress has on hold (it is part of a bigger bill) that would actually attempt to discover how many peple in the U.S. are diagnosed with MS. I always see the 400,000 to 500,000 figure, but I suspect it is higher. That same figure has been alluded to for years.

As far as the ad goes, it annoys me that it is described as a medication for MS relapses. My mother sent me an email saying she had seen an ad for a new drug that might help me since I am currently having a relapse. We know it is for RRMS, but it makes it appear to the general public that this is a medication that will control your symptoms.
