2. Introduction
Daniel “Dan” Farber has led Bright Lights USA, Inc., in Barrington,
New Jersey, as chief executive officer and president since establishing
the defense spare parts manufacturer and distributor in 1990. When
he is not managing activities and operations at Bright Lights, Dan
Farber spends time engaging with charitable organizations such as
the ALS Association and the National MS Society.
The National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society is a national organization
dedicated to raising awareness about MS as well as funds for clinical
research. The National MS Society provides families with a wealth of
important information, including an overview of common symptoms
that precede an MS diagnosis.
MS is characterized by a disruption between nerve signals in the
brain, resulting in a wide range of symptoms. Furthermore, an
individual’s experience with MS can change over time.

3. MS Symptoms
Fatigue is one of the most commonly seen symptoms in individuals
with MS, impacting about 80 percent of people. Fatigue can be
severe enough to prevent a person from engaging in a traditional
work environment, or even impact a person’s home life. An impaired
gait is another common symptom of MS, though the specific cause of
a person’s difficulty walking can vary considerably. In many cases,
walking can improve through physical therapy, assistive therapy, and
medication.
Additional symptoms include numbness throughout the body, trouble
seeing, vertigo, and clinically significant pain, the latter impacting
more than 50 percent of individuals with MS. To learn more about
