BEYOND MEDS what have you? One answer: "Service Dogs"...

Posted Mar 10 2011 12:00am


Source: MS BEYOND MEDS


MS has been treated with a variety of meds for years.  Meds can help slow down the progression of the disease and help with some of the symptoms, but they don't really directly address quality of life issues.  


Meds don't help us feel better about ourselves.  


In addition to massage therapy, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, exercise, diet, and a good dose of positive thinking, we know service dogs can make a measurable contribution toward improving quality of life.


We have witnessed real changes in MS patients as a result of their partnering with service dogs.  We intend to open a dialogue among the MS population, the medical community and friends and relatives of those with MS via our blog and website.  We hope to prove to medical insurers that service dogs contribute measurably to improvements to quality of life, thereby potentially reducing medical costs.  We intend to convince medical insurers and government agencies to cover service dogs resulting in a win win situation.
