This Is MS » General FAQs:What does "ThisIsMS" mean?: Eh, it's a take off on "This is Spinal Tap." MS is not a death sentence, so we wanted to avoid such heavy-handed names like 'mshope' or 'beatms.'
Plus, it's easy to spell, and hopefully, to remember.
But admittedly, pretty difficult for those of us suffering from dyslexia-- Sorry! I read in a news article that someone 'died from complications of MS.' What does that mean?: MS is not a fatal disease. In general, what is meant is the following:
Secondary symptoms of MS are complications that can arise as a result of the primary symptoms. For example, bladder dysfunction can cause repeated urinary tract infections. Inactivity can result in loss of muscle tone and disuse weakness (not related to demyelination), poor postural alignment and trunk control, decreased bone density (and resulting increased risk of fracture), and shallow, inefficient breathing. Immobility can lead to pressure sores. While secondary symptoms can be treated, the optimal goal is to avoid them by treating the primary symptoms (Source: National Multiple Sclerosis Society).
These secondary systems can make other, more dangerous problems likely e.g., falling. Who runs this site?: We're a group of friends who have been affected by MS in various ways--some are generally interested in autoimmune diseases, some have it, some have significant others who have it, others still have best friends or parents. All of us are disgusted with the state of treatments today and at the same time, brimming with excitement over what's being done in the research and drug pipeline field.
We're taking a stance of anonymity for a reason-- this site is to remain unbiased and focused on MS, not us. We contribute by using our skills to create a community and fill it with content, the rest is up to our users such as yourself.
