Janice Dean from Fox News and MS

[Deb61]

Did anyone see the Fox News Special recently?  Janice Dean, from Fox News, talks about her experience with MS.  If you missed it, it's on YouTube:

I just posted a vent on that 400,000 number.

But I don't think the majority of us (Americans) are of Northern European stock anymore. Definitely more of that "melting pot" thing going on in recent decades.

I saw recently that about 2.5 million have MS worldwide. The US is certainly disproportionate with 400,000, but I guess that's because so many are of Northern European stock. Lots of us also were raised in areas further from the equator than most of the world.

Deb:  thank you for sharing this.  It is good to see MS being talked about in the media in a way that counters some of the myths.

AMO: I guess her colleague was talking more globally, not just the half million or so that have been dx'ed in the US.
