Q & A: What is MS, anyway? NOT MS--MD

--common mistake, tho'.  People get this mixed up a lot. This answer is from Carrie--we will both answer sometimes. We think it is valuable for you to get both viewpoints--from someone with Muscular Dystrophy, and from the person living with a person who has it.
MS is Multiple Sclerosis. It has to do with the myelin sheath that covers the nerves. You can go into remission with it. Muscular Dystrophy has many different forms. You do not go into remission. However, you know what you are getting. With MS you could wake up with blurry vision. MD does not do that. At least not the type Alix has. It has been very slow progressing. In eight years his physical condition has not changed much; we are very thankfukl for that! BUT WE HAVE MOTHER's Day shopping to do  : )..... just ask us questions--we love answering!  : ) Carrie
