Unlike conditions like Breast Cancer, MS doesn’t seem to get the attention and publicity it really deserves. Multiple Sclerosis aid is out there, but you might have to look a little harder than patients with other diseases that seem to get more press for whatever reason.
Because of the complexity and unpredictability of Multiple Sclerosis, aid is probably needed even more than some of the more “popular” conditions. Relapses and attacks appear suddenly, and patients can find it difficult to hold on to a job. Planning any kind of routine life becomes almost impossible, and expenses occur suddenly and can add up quickly. Some studies show the lifetime expenses per MS patient routinely exceed two million dollars. Some of the new treatments cost over $1000 monthly. Add those to the probable lack of steady income, and it’s easy to see why MS aid is so badly needed.
