On November 13, 1989, Chiet was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Chiet gave up driving a car twelve years ago. He spends his days now in a
wheelchair.
“Happy where I am,
if they can stop where I am right now,” he said. But stopping the
progression of his particular case of M.S. is not an option, even as medical
researchers with Northwestern University say they have made a breakthrough
using something called nanotechnology to slow or even stop the progression of
some forms of M.S. in mice.
