Multiple Sclerosis

7/13/2021

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable and potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body. The immune system attacks myelin, which is the protective layer around nerve fibers. This causes inflammation and scar tissue or even lesions. This can make it hard for the brain to send signals to the rest of the body. MS symptoms are irregular and unpredictable. No two people have exactly the same symptoms, and each person’s symptoms can change or fluctuate over time. Two of the most common symptoms are fatigue and difficulty walking. Although MS has no cure, some conventional treatments can improve symptoms, reduce the number and severity of relapses, and delay the disease’s progression.
