Remember once upon a time when I said [my first actual laboratory research project](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/why-protein-structure-is-a-big-deal) involved [myelin basic protein](https://abclonal.com/catalog-antibodies/MyelinBasicProteinRabbitmAb/A11162)? Other than knowing that the mother of one of my high school friends had been diagnosed with it, this was the first real exposure I had with multiple sclerosis. I eventually learned more about the immune system and autoimmunity, and the thought of your own body attacking your literal nerve cells was scary and made me feel for the people who have to live with and manage this disease every day. March happens to be [Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month](https://mymsaa.org/about-msaa/ms-awareness-month-2023/), which as the name suggests works to make sure the public knows about multiple sclerosis, develops empathy and understanding for afflicted individuals, and encourages participation in events and activities to spread awareness. In this blog, let's explore the disease, current treatment strategies and ongoing research, and ways that you can help both in and out of the lab.

My wife and I used to watch [House, M.D.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412142/) starring Hugh Laurie, in which he was a cranky doctor who happened to be a Holmesian genius in diagnosing rare or mysterious diseases. We are fortunate to have doctors who have much better bedside manner, but as an entertainment option, House was a lot of fun. One of the running gags for fans of the show is that [the mystery disease of the week is never lupus](https://www.healthing.ca/diseases-and-conditions/why-its-never-lupus-television-illness-and-the-making-of-a-meme), except for the one and only time that it was. My fond memories of this show got me to thinking about how difficult it is to diagnose lupus, and about other autoimmune diseases that still remain mysterious and challenging to treat. I decided to find out how modern medicine is approaching this continuing health issue.
