As many as one in 500
Americans has multiple sclerosis. Ann Romney, wife of the Republican
presidential nominee, has MS. So did first lady Michelle Obama's late
father. It's believed to be an autoimmune disease that damages neurons
in the brain and spinal cord, sometimes leading to permanent
disabilities. There is no cure, but there are a number of treatments
available to alleviate symptoms and possibly slow the progression of the
disease. Some of the most effective MS drugs can cause dangerous side
effects. But one promising new drug won FDA approval earlier this month,
and a decision on another drug is expected by year's end. Guest host
Susan Page will talk with a panel of experts, including a doctor who has
MS, about diagnosing, treating and living with multiple sclerosis.
