Did You Know ...

Canadians have one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world.

MS is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada.

Every day, three more people in Canada are diagnosed with MS.

Women are twice as likely to develop MS as men.

MS can cause loss of balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis.

MS was first identified and described by a French neurologist, Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot, in 1868.

We don't know what causes MS but researchers are closer to finding the answer.
