Register to join us Tuesday, Nov. 8 from 7 - 8:15 pm CST for next month's telelearning: Diet and Multiple Sclerosis: A neurologist's perspective.
The 2016 National MS Society and Can Do MS Webinar & Telelearning Series brings together a collaboration of MS experts to help you learn strategies to live your best life with MS. Recordings are available afterwards if you're unable to attend live.
OCTOBER DISCUSSION OF THE MONTH: PHYSICAL THERAPY
Physical therapists (PT) evaluate and address the body's ability to move and function, with particular emphasis on walking and mobility, strength, balance, posture, fatigue and pain. Have you tried physical therapy to treat MS symptoms? What were the results? What tips would you have for others who are considering this form of rehabilitation? What questions do you have about PT? Join the discussion.
MS ENTREPRENEURS
MS Entrepreneurs are creative, innovative individuals who are passionate about developing new ways to improve the lives of those touched by multiple sclerosis. The Society seeks to provide grants to these individuals so that funding won't stand in the way of change. The next deadline for submission is Monday, Oct. 24. Learn more about the application process and how to become an MS Entrepreneur.

The report tracks our progress against the FY2016-2018 Strategic Plan, and also articulates how our collective impact better ensures people affected by MS can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever.
