Did you know that most people who get MS are not only women but they are between the ages of 20 and 40 at the time of diagnosis? Women between the ages of 20 and 40 are also the same women who are becoming moms. It is because of this that Kristin Bennett created this site along with the Moms With MS Online Community to bring moms with multiple sclerosis together. Many moms are busy with their kids, some are unable to drive to events put on for other people with MS, and keeping the community online gives a way for moms to support each other through the joys and sorrows of parenting with MS.

I’m Not Getting Flu Shot

Ah, the seasonal debate.

I figured I would jump in and state my stance on this, especially because I have heard people using the SAME logic as a reason to get the shot.
