when i'm asked what is MS i usually say that it's a non curable, progressive neurological disease which means it affects the brain and spinal cord.

it's important that folks know that MS presents very differently from person to person. MS destroys nerve pathways and since nerves affect everything in the body symptoms can be very different.

i think it's important that people know how MS can cause pain, eye problems, of course mobility problems, heat intolerance, cognition/memory and overwhelming fatigue.

good luck with your class. thanks for doing this.
