I just received a message from the ms Society saying 1 million people have live with ms. I accept this is likely true but does anybody know when it changed, and why? That is from 3 or 4 hundred thousand.

Ilways thought 3 4 hundred thousand was low. I would have expected the powers that be to estimate higher not lower

I always thought that the number was low, but I was hopeful that I was wrong :-D
