Donations
are like

One drop
of rain
does not
add up to
much, but
when you

bodies of
water are
formed
If
everyone
would
make a
simple
donation,
like the
droplets
of water,
we can
build an
ocean!
Please
help
make this
dream a

What is MS you ask? Well, Multiple
Sclerosis, otherwise known as MS, is a
debilitating disease that affects the nerves
of the patient. Here is a list of various
problems the MS patient lives with:
Of course, symptoms depend on which
parts of the brain and spinal cord are
damaged and how bad the damage is.
Early symptoms may include:
Muscle problems—You may feel weak and
stiff, and your limbs may feel heavy. You
may drag your leg when you walk. You
may drop things more than usual and be
less coordinated.
Balance problems—You may feel
lightheaded or dizzy or feel like you're
spinning.
As MS gets worse, you may have tremors
and pain and feel stiff when you move. You
may have problems with controlling
urination, swallowing, and thinking clearly.
MS can lead to depression.
Many people with MS are sensitive to heat.
Hot temperatures, a fever, a hot shower, or
too much exercise can make their
symptoms worse until they cool down.
MS is very unpredictable. Symptoms may
suddenly get worse with no warning, or
you may go for years without any
problems.
What does a person with MS look like? Are
they different?
A person with MS looks like anyone else.
They do the same things that
anyone else can do, most of the time.
One of the “MYTHS” of MS is that it is
contagious. This is NOT true.
