Are you a veteran with MS?
If so, please know that the founder of the Global MS Society is also a veteran who has been living with MS for nearly 23 years. She regards all people who share these two dreaded letters as “Friends with MS,” and as such, you are bonded for life. However, because she was diagnosed while serving in the military, in addition to this already profound connection, she considers the bonds you share as fellow veterans with MS the fuel for her fierce determination to pursue research, learn what causes MS, and develop a cure. She is committed to help you learn to manage the condition while she continues to pursue answers about the cause of MS. She is passionate about helping her friends and fellow veterans with MS and is known to go out of her way to make time for them. If you would like to speak with Jenny or have her come and meet with a group of veterans with MS, let us know. We will make it happen. After all, you are the reason she founded the organization.
Did you serve in a combat zone?
Veterans in general have a higher incidence of MS compared to the civilian population, but did you know that veterans who served in a combat zone have a 22.4% higher rate of MS compared to veterans who were not deployed to a combat zone (Williams, V.F., Stahlman, S., & Ying, S., 2017)?
As part of her PhD dissertation research project, the founder is designing a study that will test the effects of her treatment on a large population of friends with MS. She developed the treatment that put her MS in remission and it worked so well she became a scientist to study it. She has tested it on several animals and it caused remission in 100% of the subjects with the relapsing-remitting form of the animal model of MS. If you’re interested in participating in her upcoming study and would like to see if you meet the inclusion criteria, fill out the form below and we will be in touch.
Even if you’re not interested in participating in her study, she wants to work with you and teach you how to manage your MS. Keep checking back on the website for updated information, but for now, click on the button below to get started reading about it.
What are your needs?
Fellow veterans, what do you need help with,? Please tell us about your needs - whatever they are. We will get to work helping you, and if you need something we can’t help you with, we will network with other agencies to find someone who can.
