Multiple sclerosis (or commonly as is known by the acronym of MS) is a chronic Health Condition. It is often a disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS). CNS is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today the treatments and advances in research are controlled by greed and often the ones who benefit are the Medical Industry. On this market of greed people affected by the disease have lost hope to procedures. An Entitlement should be created to secure a roof above the head of Patients. I am speaking of the situation in the State of Florida were Health Care is not protected and when SSD can put in jeopardy care and diet for a widow. MS Patients have enough with their condition and the corrupted attitude of legislators in Florida. MS does not discriminate. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
“Esclerosis Múltiple (comúnmente como es conocido por el acrónimo de EM) es Condición de Salud Crónica. Termina siendo en una enfermedad discapacitante que ataca el Sistema Central Nervioso (CNS por sus siglas en inglés). El CNS se compone del cerebro, médula espinal, nervios ópticos. Los síntomas pueden variar, como entumecimiento en las extremidades, ó severo como parálisis ó perdida de vista. El progreso, severidad, y síntomas específicos de EM son irreversibles e impredecibles y varían de persona a persona. Hoy los tratamientos y avances en estudios son controlados por codicia y la mayoría de los que se benefician es la Industria Medica. En este mercado de avaricia la gente afectada por la enfermedad ha perdido esperanza a estudios y procedimientos. Una compensación debe ser creada para asegurar un techo sobre los pacientes. Hablo por experiencia en la situación en el Estado de Florida donde el Cuidado de Salud no es protegido cuando SSD pone en peligro el cuidado y dieta de una viuda. Los Pacientes de EM tienen suficiente con su condición y la actitud corrupta de legisladores en Florida. EM no discrimina. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Living in Florida is a nightmare when you have MS. My sister has this and the system just treats her like a number. Shame on the state for turning their backs on us.
