Nearly one million people are living with MS in the United States, according to a study funded by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This is more than twice the original estimate and means solutions for MS are now twice as important. Researchers used to believe that Hispanics/Latinx in the United States were virtually untouched by multiple sclerosis. Studies have found that, compared to others with the disease, Hispanics/Latinx are diagnosed at a much younger age and are more likely to have more severe MS and an earlier onset of symptoms, such as mobility issues and optic neuritis. This episode, Louis and Melissa share their MS journey and educate us on how to support the National MS Society.https://www.nationalmssociety.orgLearn more about your ad choices.
