I have MS and I'm only 15 so it's hard to find people who understand what I'm going through but it's nice to know people really do care.

This video made me cry, I am part of the small percentage that has MS and is a teen. So the fact that AsapSCIENCE took the time to make this video to raise awareness is greatly appreciated

it's so sad that each comment in this video either have ms or know someone who does... I hope you all get well guys and I hope they find cure for it .

My wife has MS. I love her dearly. We got married a year after she was diagnosed because we realized then and there that we couldn't know how our future was going to look; she had to live the life she deserved and I wanted to help her.
Bless the meek, and the sick. We live our lives as best we can, but never forget those that suffer.
I hope everyone who has this disease finds some peace.

All of these stories everyone is sharing makes me feel so much less alone. Im 17 and my mom has it, my aunt has it, and a few days ago I was just diagnosed with it. I'm surprised at how many other teens also have it. I hope you all stay strong <3

My mom has MS and she always has trouble walking and thinking. Her hands/fingers get incredibly numb and right now she's in a really bad state. I just hope they will find a cure for MS one day.

This video made me tear up. My mom suffers from MS and it is horribly debilitating. It is just as bad if not worse than many diseases such cancer, because there is no cause or cure. Yet diseases like cancer get much more publicity in the effort to end it. It's sad to think that if people gave as much publicity to MS they might be closer to finding a cure if not just something to help with pain and symptoms. I am truly thankful that the people from ASAP Science took the time to bring some light on this disease.

My dad has multiple sclerosis... It's very hard to live with but luckily enough, the medication he takes works, only slowing the progression of the disease. Having lived with it for well over 14 years, he's done remarkably well. Please do take part in the spread of awareness of this terrible, and life crippling disease.

Today is my mom's birthday and she said she didn't want us to buy her anything so my dad decided to donate the money to ms research :)

My grandad had it and passed away two years years ago. He couldn't move he couldn't speak he couldn't do anything. Please help fight this dreadful disease. RIP GRANDAD❤️❤️❤️😭😭🇬🇧🇬🇧

People don't understand how we are effected. Everything is slower.healing, movement and everything else. Personally, I cannot even wake up. It fucks you up. You feel great one second and next you feel like shit, not able to do much, not able to move much and fatigued. Pain which come with it is like an add-on.

My mum suffers from MS and it's really hard seeing her struggle to do the simplest tasks as her legs just do not work. I wish there was a cure.

I was diagnosed with MS last year when I was 18 and it was the scariest thing I ever dealt with. Knowing that there are creators out there using there platform to spread awareness is just really great to hear.

[Chellabell]

MS sux!!! I know because...I have it but, it doesn't have me!

[notme]

I was just Diagnosed last December, I'm now on my Fourth Neurologist and I've been Hospitalized 5 Times Since January. Thank you for this Video so I can Show my Family what I'm fighting.

i'm going to become a medical student, and MS is one of the things i really wanna study and contribute to curing

I got it the day before the summer school break when i was 11, i woke up being almost 50% blind because it was blurry and the summer weather(brighty) and TV's and Supermarkets killed me. It was my first relapse/MS Symtoms and it lasted for roughly 2-3 months(not fun when you're that age)

the MS Kicked in real hard later when i was 13-14 and i had a tendency to fall to the floor right after standing up from bed in the mornings and i was numb bottom-down and then after a year of monthly IV treatment with Tysabri i got immune to it, So now i have to take 6+ Hour long injections of Rituximab(Also used to treat leukemia) 4 Times a year.

Just leaving this here.

Somebody may read it, Or maybe have been in a similair situation or something
Im a male, if thats good to know.

I got diagnosed with MS at sixteen but my doctors said the illness probably started when I was only twelve so this video by a channel that is so dear to me and many other younger people is something I'm incredibly grateful for 🙏
