Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system. It is characterized by the damage and destruction of the protective covering (myelin) of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to communication disruption between the brain and other parts of the body. Symptoms of MS can vary widely, including vision problems, numbness, stiffness, fatigue, tingling, and difficulty walking. MS can be mild or disabling and its progression can vary from person to person. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to reduce the risk of disability and slow the progression of the disease. Treatment options may include medications, physical and occupational therapies, as well as lifestyle changes.
