DE HCR95

Designates March 2024 as "Multiple Sclerosis Month" in Delaware through House Concurrent Resolution 95

Acknowledges Multiple Sclerosis as a chronic, unpredictable disease affecting the nervous system with symptoms ranging from numbness to blindness, paralysis, and cognitive dysfunction

Recognizes that an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide are affected by MS, with female individuals experiencing higher MS burden than males

Calls upon Delawareans to observe the month by learning about Multiple Sclerosis and supporting individuals medically diagnosed with the condition

Notes that MS has no known cause or cure, with no definitive laboratory test for diagnosis, and that most people are diagnosed between ages 15 and 50
