We have always been able to treat the symptoms of MS with conventional medications. However, it has only been since the early 90s that we have had medication to slow the disease progression and lessen the severity of the symptoms. Betaseron was the first medication to be approved in the United States to treat the relapsing form of the disease. All of the MS medications available today have been shown to slow the progression of the disease and to reduce the severity and duration of relapses when they occur.

Some examples 1800 - not a leap year because it is a multiple of 100 1900 - not a leap year because it is a multiple of 100 2000 - leap year because while it is a multiple of 100, it is also a multiple of 400 2100 - not a leap year because it is a multiple of 100 400 - leap year because while it is a multiple of 100, it is also a multiple of 400
