"Multiple Sclerosis"

"Multiple sclerosis", a disease that causes a possible disability in the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system).

In multiple sclerosis, the immune system attacks the sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes problems in communication between the mind and the rest of the body. Ultimately, the disease can cause the nerves themselves to permanently deteriorate or be damaged.

The signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary greatly, and depend on the amount of damage and the nature of the affected nerves.

Some people with severe multiple sclerosis may lose the ability to walk independently or at all, while others may experience prolonged periods of stability without any new symptoms occurring.

There is no known treatment for multiple sclerosis. However, treatments may help speed recovery from seizures, alter the disease cycle and control symptoms.
