Learning about Multiple Sclerosis

This program introduces the subject of multiple sclerosis, covering onset, short- and long-term physiological effects, and treatment. A pair of patients with relapsing-remitting MS describe their experiences while the late Lawrence Jacobs, a pioneer in MS research and treatment, and other MS experts emphasize the benefits of early identification and intervention in managing this autoimmune disease. Diagnostics involving MRI scans, pharmaceutical treatment with the "ABC drugs" and Rebif, and physical therapy are also discussed, rounding out this comprehensive overview. (24 minutes)
