Denver,
CO – February 20, 2008 – Disaboom, the leading online community
designed for people with disabilities and their friends, family and caregivers,
today announced the expansion of its multiple sclerosis resource center.  The newly-expanded online resource explains
the diagnosis, treatment and warning signs of multiple sclerosis and also
includes details on the latest developments in the search for a cure.

According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society,
multiple sclerosis continues to be a medical mystery with its exact cause
eluding the medical community and the 350,000 Americans suffering from the
disease.  Multiple sclerosis is a disease
of the central nervous system and often causes weakness in limbs, sensory loss
and impaired vision. Information sharing, knowledge of symptoms and diagnosis,
and a solid support network are crucial when living with multiple sclerosis. 

“With such limited knowledge on the direct cause of multiple
sclerosis it becomes increasingly important that information is readily
accessible on the symptoms and diagnosis of MS,” said Dr. Glen House, founder
of Disaboom.  “At disaboom.com, we help
people touched by multiple sclerosis, including doctors, caregivers and people
with the disease, giving them a place to connect and offer advice and insight.”

Disaboom’s newly-expanded multiple sclerosis resource center
provides the latest medical research as well as practical information to help
people recognize the warning signs, understand the diagnosis and get the latest
treatments.  Site visitors can also share
experiences, support, and information by joining a community of others touched
by the disease through chat rooms and discussion forums located in the
community section of disaboom.com.

quality of life for people touched by disabilities.  To visit Disaboom’s comprehensive multiple
