What does MS mean to you? Tell the NMSS in the USA

The National MS Society in the USA will launch a new campaign to mark World MS Day on 1st May 2011
The campaign, MS=, asks people with MS to tell the world what MS means to them. The NMSS will launch the campaign in May so make sure to visit their website and tell them what MS= to you. www.nationalmssociety.org
To support the 2011 World MS Day theme, Work and MS, the NMSS is re-launching their self-study programme ‘Career crossroads: Employment and MS’. The guide supports people with MS through the questions and answers that they might have and need to stay in work. Alongside this series a webcast will take place on the 24th May. The webcast, ‘Working towards your best life: advances in quality of life research’, will focus on break-through complementary therapies that will improve quality of life of people with MS.
So glad to see this topic is being addressed. I have not found much in the way of support or relief in dealing with my MS in respect to employment. It seems the only assistance available is if you are terminated or going on social security disability. Neither is a viable option for me and I plan to keep working.
