Anthony's Science Fair Survey for MS

Anthony's dad was diagnosed with MS about seven years ago. It has "drastically changed" his entire family's lives. We all know that story.

Anthony, high school student in Michigan, is participating in his high school science fair. For his project, he has a theory concerning ms and geography. In order to explore it, he put together a short survey fo MSers to answer. It is five questions and takes less than one minute.

Please take Anthony's survey.

Same Symptoms = Same Treatment?

If you find someone with similar or even the same symptoms, that doesn't mean the same treatment will work for both of you. Now, we may know why that is true.

Researchers at the University of Michigan tell us that even people with the very same symptoms may have different forms of the disease. In an article published in the latest Journal of Experimental Medicine they tell us they injected mice with different forms of the disease, but they developed the same symptoms.

So far it's just mice, but this research thread may lead to customized treatments in the future based on your particular MS subtype.
