Nearly 1 million people are living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the United States. More women are diagnosed with the disease and colder climates can be a contributing factor. MS can be a very tricky disease to diagnose, but quick treatment can help to slow the progression of the disease.
UConn Medical Center's neurologist Dr. Hamza Coban explains the different types of MS and why a positive mindset can be very helpful. Marisa Goldsmith is his patient, and she fights for her mobility every day. Marisa says MS doesn't define who she is, and being an athlete has helped her tremendously.
