Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the central nervous system, specifically the myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers. This leads to inflammation and scarring, disrupting nerve signals. Symptoms vary widely and can include fatigue, difficulty walking, vision problems, muscle weakness, and coordination issues. MS progresses differently for each person, with various forms ranging from relapsing-remitting to progressive types. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, slowing disease progression, and improving quality of life.
