<p>"I learned that some of the organizations charged anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 per service dog" <br> <br> <br> Holy cow! I never knew they cost that much.</p>

  <p>Hi ThomasBellas! The training process is very costly ,but there are some organizations that raise funds and gift dogs to the recipient. Another point to consider, the cost is something that may be eligible under <a href="http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Resources-Support/Insurance-and-Financial-Information/Financial-Resources" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">NMMS's Financial Assistance Program</a>. </p> <p>Thanks for being part of the community! - All Best, Donna (MultipleSclerosis.net team)</p>

You seemed fine the other day...

This diet cures MS!

You should try acupuncture, bee sting therapy, etc.

Mind over matter
