Erikas Health!
Hello,
My name is Kylie and i am 20 years old. Last week i found out that my best friend was diagnosed with RRMS (Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis). Relapsing-remitting MS is defined by inflammatory attacks on myelin (the layers of insulating membranes surrounding nerve fibers in the central nervous system — CNS). During these inflammatory attacks, activated immune cells cause small, localized areas of damage. Progressive forms of MS involve much less of this type of inflammation. She has begun to get numbness in her arms and legs and has major headaches. There is medication to help but sadly it is $32,000 a year. Erika is in university right now and does not have that kind of money. My mission is to help her raise money to afford this medicine! |
