Hi, I cannot specifically find MS listed on the MDA site but I know they help with funding for research and such. There are around 40 diseases covered by the MDA.

No Kitt...Kicker was teasing ...we are not part of the MDA...MS is completely different disease than MS. But people often confuse the two. MS vs MD.

My cousin's wife said she has MS, but goes to an MD clinic..what? So, I looked up her "rare form of MS" and low and behold she has MD. So, she's one of Jerry's kids but I'm not.

Should I tell her at the family reunion she doesn't have MS?

OOPS, I just hijacked...sorry!

Yup, I know it is. For the most part MS is an autoimmune disease and MD is a dystrophy. And CMT is an inherited atrophy. Thanks much I know there are quite a few people who do not know the difference. And thanks for cluing me in on Kicker

What kind of MD does she have? Just curious. And, I'm not sure what you mean when you say you "just hijacked". Hope I'm not doing something wrong

Your fine, Kitt.

Hijacked is when a thread goes "off topic" (moves away from) the original topic intentionally or unintentionally.

My feelings on this: it happens, some threads take on a life of their own and to me it's not a big deal.

Brenda, your cousin might be confused about her diagnosis. You might talk to her about it - gently.

Thank you so much Snoopy I can understand what you are saying when you say the thread goes "off topic". Thanks so much

Actually she has CMT, Kitt, which I see in your signature that you have it too? And so, when I searched I see it isn't actually MD either. Am I correct?

Brenda,

Neuromuscular diseases in the MDA program - CMT is listed
http://www.mda.org/disease/

Yet, CMT is listed as a neurological disorder -
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/c...arie_tooth.htm

I am certainly confused.

A vote of solidarity and a big hug for you and DD's efforts on spreading the word on MS.
