MS Pairs with Aging



Our understanding
MS gerontology,
a pressing issue.

In parsing between
normal aging and MS,
is it just the plaques?

Can we determine
whether each process affects
mutual progression?

Hi, amiga, thanks for stopping by. There is no answer to why, no matter how often I keep asking. :)

Hi Judy,

I have given up on trying to distinguish between the two! My doctor told me when I was diagnosed with MS, that progression would slow down as I aged...so, I guess that means that my current state of being could be just the fact that I am an old lady! LOL

Karen, who knows what is what? They are both something I wish I could avoid!

Yes I was told the reason my MS is inactive could be some just burn out. Thats great with old age. I always wonder what is age, what is MS? Dr said to exercise and eat healthy just like everyone else supposed to lol

Interesting that the Barts blog just did an article on this, answering my poem's questions.
