While the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers Website may seem to cater to medical professionals and other societies and organizations, they also have a lot of information for people who have been diagnosed with the chronic neurological disease.  Some of the information they have is about the most recent treatments that have been approved in certain countries.  Learning about treatment options is important for patients so that they can be proactive in their treatment and care plan with their own medical professionals.  They will want to know all the options available to them in order to keep their quality of life as high as possible, no matter what stage of multiple sclerosis they may be in.
