LEARN HOW
Multiple Sclerosis is an unpredictable, complicated and frustrating disease. Not only does it take a ton of energy to cope with this disease from day-to-day, but it also requires countless hours and energy to find information and resources/tools to help you manage symptoms and relapses. This is especially true for African-Americans (Black people) since there is not much in terms of material available specifically for us.
Incredibly, the medical community thought that MS was not common among the African-American population. As we know, this is quite the contrary. In fact, it is more severe for African-Americans (Black people).
Many times we know what we need, but sometimes we just don't know where to find it, or if it even exist. So, AARMS Inc. has done the work for you! AARMS Inc. provides a suite of resources/tools to help you enhance and optimize your knowledge of Multiple Sclerosis and find much of what may help you.
This information will help you to; prepare for medical appointments, learn about exciting webinars, find tips on diet and exercise, register for great classes & events, get updates on DMTs, register for studies and sign-up for clinical trials. All of this and so much more! To checkout what's available, CLICK HERE.
