About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot be predicted.

WNYWomen.com is in strong support of women in this region making a difference in Multiple Sclerosis.

Advances in research and treatment are giving hope to those affected by the disease. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. The unpredictable physical and emotional effects can be lifelong.
