Ms is not life threatening, it does change
ones life. Over the long term, diability
is possible. There are a lot of drugs
now available that were not available just
ten years ago.
If you're 16, you are not the typical ms
patient. Most people who develop ms are
in their 20's and 30's.

Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory
disease of the central nervous system
which includes the brain and spinal cord.
It is basically a disease of the "white
matter" tissue. The white matter is made
up of nerve fibres which are responsible
for transmitting communication signals
both internally within the central nervous
system(cns) and between the cns and the
nerves supplying rest of the body. I
think a 16 year old may get it.
