Although the disease is not fatal the quality of life for people diagnosed is difficult with episodes of relapse and remission and a wide variety of symptoms anywhere from loss of bladder control to cognitive setbacks like memory loss. The hardest part about MS is that it is a \u201csilent disease\u201d so the general public is not as aware of it as it should be. Today there are only 15 disease-modifying medications approved by the FDA and those do not reach all of the symptoms people diagnosed with MS have.\" width=\"768\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/6a2fdeef-4d98-42d4-8092-ccc6431395251-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/6a2fdeef-4d98-42d4-8092-ccc6431395251-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/6a2fdeef-4d98-42d4-8092-ccc6431395251-1024x791.png 1024w, https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/6a2fdeef-4d98-42d4-8092-ccc6431395251.png 1056w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-162 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/MS-commonality.png\" alt=\"MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MS is the MOST widespread disabling neurological condition of young adults around the world.\" width=\"614\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/MS-commonality.png 481w, https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/MS-commonality-300x290.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-69 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map.png\" alt=\"map\" width=\"692\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map.png 464w, https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-70 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/reatment-cost.png\" alt=\"reatment-cost\" width=\"701\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/reatment-cost.png 491w, https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/reatment-cost-300x222.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<style type=\"text\/css\" >#b_86izcqnwaba10r7gfnpb a{color:#ffcb05; background: #3661ad; background: -moz-linear-gradient(-45deg,  #3661ad 0%, #6abf4b 100%); background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right bottom, color-stop(0%,#3661ad), color-stop(100%,#6abf4b)); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-45deg,  #3661ad 0%,#6abf4b 100%); background: -o-linear-gradient(-45deg,  #3661ad 0%,#6abf4b 100%); background: -ms-linear-gradient(-45deg,  #3661ad 0%,#6abf4b 100%); background: linear-gradient(135deg,  #3661ad 0%,#6abf4b 100%); filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr=\"#3661ad\", endColorstr=\"#6abf4b\",GradientType=1 );  margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px;  margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; font-weight:900; border-radius:0px;}#b_86izcqnwaba10r7gfnpb a:hover{color:#d55225 ; background: ;}<\/style><div class=\"ta_center tf_btn_pos\" id=\"b_86izcqnwaba10r7gfnpb\" ><a class=\"rd_normal_bt large_rd_bt rda_fadeIn \" href=\"https:\/\/www.classy.org\/campaign\/synapse-launch-event-and-fundraiser-for-fasttrek-org-9-5-18-roger-williams-botanical-center\/c193856\" target=\"yes\"   >DONATE<\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Read Only[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]DONATE[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/about-multiple-sclerosis\/\" class=\"more\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-389","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/389\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fasttrek.org\/fasttrek\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
