Meeting Needs

MS entered my life bout 22 years ago. My son is a student majoring in product design and is interested in working on a project that would benefit individuals with MS, as he has watched me struggle with many things throughout his life. He would like to work on a project for school that could benefit people with MS.

Could we post questions to help him select a project to develop. His goal is to meet a need that people with MS do not feel id being met. This may be a product that doesn't exist yet or one that can be improved.

Questions he would like to post are:

Considering these and any other MS symptoms which may have an impact on your life, please respond to the questions which follow.
