Thanks very much for posting. My mother had MS most of her adult life and died at age 66. (Her mother lived to 95, her father to 88, so MS arguably took 30 years off her life.) MS also killed bicycle expert Sheldon Brown in his early 60s -- I was fortunate to get to meet him in person a few years earlier when I made a pilgrimage to Harris Cyclery in West Newton during a business trip to Boston. My younger son's 4th grade teacher was diagnosed and then went into remission, but it has come back with a vengeance, forcing her to retire early from a career she loved.
I am encouraged by some of the recent advances in MS research:
