It used to be the case that there were no good treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS). In the past, most people with MS would eventually need a wheelchair, walker, or cane to get around. Today, improved treatments help many people with MS to delay or avoid severe progression of MS.
In this video, Michelle Fabian, MD, a Neurologist at The Mount Sinai Hospital, explains why she now gives a diagnosis of MS with a message of hope.
Dr. Fabian is the assistant professor of neurology at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
