What is Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- It is an autoimmune disease, which means that your body doesn't like it's own cells and wants to get rid of them. The fat around the nerves that control your body are being hurt or even taken away in some cases.
- Out of all MS cases only 10% are children, which means that you are special.
- Good News! Evidence shows a slower disease course in kids!
- Bad News, there is not a cure...yet! They are working on more medications for kids and trying to find a cure. There are medications to help with the symptoms.
