INFORMATION:
Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological disorder. This means that it affects the nervous system, which consists of the brain, spinal chord, and nerve cells. In a healthy nervous system, messages in the brain are transported to different parts of the body through nerve cells. When a body part recieves the message, it accomplishes the task the brain wanted it to do. This exchange occurs whenever you make even the simplest motion.
However, for a person with Multiple Sclerosis, the nervous system does not always perform the way it should. The nerve cells that messages travel through are damaged, making it impossible for the brain to tell certain body parts what to do. Therefore, these parts do not operate correctly. For example, if nerve cells are damaged that are designed to carry messages to the legs, the legs will not move the way they would in a person without M.S.
Multiple Sclerosis is not the same for everyone. M.S. can alter vision, coordination, and mobility in various ways, and no two people are exactly alike. Some people can walk fairly easily to one end of a room to another; for some it is more difficult. Some may require the assistance of a cane, and others might need a walker or wheelchair. It all depends on the individual.
My father is one of the many men and women who needs a wheelchair to get from one place to another. However, his limited mobility does not keep him from being one of the strongest and most admirable people I know. He's my best friend, one of my biggest advocates, and someone I want more than ever to fight for.
But he's not alone. Thousands of others are affected by M.S. each day, and they, too, have family just as passionate as I am. We want to cure this disease, but we need your help. Please contribute to our efforts by donating to the M.S. Foundation, or National M.S. Society. Even the smallest contribution brings us one step closer to ridding the world of Multiple Sclecosis.
Please comment if you have questions, or if you've chosen to donate. I'd like to keep my family up to date on the efforts. ^_^

Hi there... I think it's so cool that you posted this. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2012 and have been struggling with it since. I wanted to start a group here on FA to help educate and teach people about what multiple sclerosis is and what it's like for people what it's like for people who have MS. I'm glad to see this, it really made me happy. I will be praying for you and your family, and I'm happy to meet you <:3
Aw, hun, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know it's really hard right now but just know you're not alone. I really want to make this group. If you need someone to talk to, please feel free to e-mail me at moonrat_anime[at]hotmail.com I will be more than happy to help you through this any way I can
