I've been battling Progressive Multiple Sclerosis since 2002. The disease is an autoimmune deficiency that attacks the cerebrospinal nervous system corrupting neuronic growth, impeding speech, cognition, memory, balance, coordination, perambulation, and body infrastructure. The disease attacks anamalously and affects different people in various ways. Before, you allocate hard earned money to special interest societies, and advocacy groups claiming to protect the common person afflicted with MS, study the the effects and history of the disease. Education is half the battle, then those battling the ailment must learn to cope with the degenerative disease by reevaluating and restructuring their lives. Paralysis, numbness, and atrophy pervade those with protracted forms of the disease.
Personally, I use a cane for supportive balance, lifting from my seat, and ascending and descending steep grades and stairwells. There isn't a known organic or medicinal cure for the disease. Most live average lengths of life, but some perish at younger ages due to the relentless effects. More women are afflicted than men, but it seems Men battle a more rigid form of the disease, confining them to canes, walkers, leg braces, or motorized chairs. I was 33 years old when I noticed inflamation of my joints, cognition issues, perambulation difficulty, and suffering a minor ischemic stroke. I had a second ischemic attack in 2003, and something similar but less intensive in 2004. Many including myself have depression and chronic fatigue. I pray to God, the highest power, everyday, for all the positive distribution received. Some days, i'm reclusive and dibilitated, and some days I feel a virile 75 percent. Altruism is the best form of humanity on Earth, and it pays those with kind souls invaluable dividends.
