Introduction - MS Overview

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressively debilitating disease that changes an individual’s life and self-perception. It is the most common neurological disorder in young adults between the ages of 20-50. A person diagnosed with MS must manage symptoms, implement and adhere to prescribed medical treatments, and make modifications in lifestyle and behaviors to successfully face the challenges presented by the illness. The uncertainty of the disease course and the negative perception of MS can cause feelings of overwhelming distress, hopelessness, and anxiety.


While we hope for a cure in our lifetime, The MS Center recognizes the present challenges faced by people living with the disease. To ensure a life of quality, it is of profound importance to address all parts of the individual's humanity through a comprehensive approach. By hosting this Expo, The MS Center hopes to bring to the MS community up-to-the-minute information and resources on MS care, treatment, preventative health care, as well as products and services that will make people's lives easier and more manageable.
