Well, that just seems all backwards, now doesn't it. I understand the reason for this line of thinking but in the broader scheme of things, it doesn't make much sense to me. When I was first dxed I was told that MS has 2 things going against it in terms of funding. First, that it's a chronic disease rather than a fatal one and secondly, the relatively small population.

Well, I'd love to hear you elaborate on this one if you're willing!
