More than 400,000 Americans are living with Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic, unpredictable disease that attacks the central nervous system. <\/p>\n
Now, new discoveries could help scientists come up with better treatments for the disease and even prevent its onset. <\/p>\n
Whether parachuting, fishing, or enjoying the beach, Susan Dobroff has always pictured herself as an outdoors woman. <\/p>\n
Susan Dobroff, Living with MS, explains why she enjoys the outdoors so much, “It’s like being in touch with God.” <\/p>\n

Dobroff explains how she struggle after awhile with her job, “Lawyers don’t need to walk and run in order to practice law but we do have to think.” <\/p>\n
Now Japanese Macaques could hold the key to helping people like Susan. Scientists at the Oregon National Primate Center have discovered a new herpes virus in monkeys that causes an MS like disease in Macaques. <\/p>\n
These brain lesions are a classic indicator of inflammation in people with MS. The discovery could help scientists solve how the disease develops and stop its onset. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
