What is multiple sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that results in chronic inflammation. The cause of MS is currently unknown, but it is thought to be autoimmune. With MS, the immune system attacks the CNS, specifically the myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves. This causes lesions and inflammation, which leads to symptoms such as:
- Chronic pain.
- Fatigue.
- Balance and coordination issues.
- Tremors, numbness, burning, or tingling sensations.
- Difficulty thinking clearly.
Symptoms usually come and go over the years and are dependent on where the nerve damage has occurred. Multiple sclerosis affects 2.5 million people worldwide and is more common in women. There is no cure for MS, but medication can delay the progression of the disease and lessen the severity and frequency of relapses.
