I'm proud to help lead the "Stick With It" campaign to educate patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis about the importance of sticking with a routine for the long haul.
Beta-interferon has also been shown in studies to benefit to those with "relapsing-remitting" MS, in which the sufferer's condition is stable in between "attacks", which prove gradually more disabling.
When the condition is diagnosed most will have a form of the disease know as relapsing-remitting MS, in which the symptoms can almost disappear for a time, before suddenly returning.
In addition to being a country music artist, Walker is also an ambassador for the National MS Society and a paid spokesman for Teva Pharmaceuticals, manufacturer of one of nine medications approved for treating relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
It is not a cure and can only be used at a particular stage of the relapsing-remitting form of the disease but for the few who are on it, it has dramatically enhanced their quality of life.
There are different types of MS - most people with the condition have the relapsing remitting type where the symptoms come and go over days, weeks or months.
