Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system that is most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 50. Symptoms range from blurred vision, numbness in an arm or leg, to total paralysis. While there are treatments to slow the progression of the disease, there is no cure.
The program is being made possible through an educational grant from Serono. To register or to find out more information about multiple sclerosis, call 1-800-639-1330 or log onto the Web at www.msmaine.org.
