“Taking Control of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS”
with Mark S. Freedman, MD and Virginia Devonshire, MD
It’s the most common neurological disease
affecting young adults in Canada. According
to the MS Society of Canada, every day, three
people in Canada are diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis, women three times as likely as men.
But experts say diagnosing and treating MS early
can often reduce the frequency and severity of
attacks and even slow the progression of the
disease.
“With early treatment you are giving people hope.
You’re giving them more control of their disease
and I think that gives them the power to get
out and enjoy life,” says Mark Freedman, MD a
leading expert on MS.
For a comprehesive look at taking control of
multiple sclerosis, we speak with Mark S.
Freedman, MD, Director of the MS Research
Clinic at the University of Ottawa and Virginia
Devonshire, MD of the University of British
Columbia in Vancouver and we meet a young
patient taking control of her MS.
