Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body and can stop people from moving forward in their lives. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, but teenagers and young children can also have MS; and, there are more than twice as many women as men diagnosed with the disease, which affects 2.1 million people worldwide.
