Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that is a leading cause of disability in young adults. The damage to the myelin sheath surrounding CNS nerve fibers and to the fibers themselves causes interference in the transmission of nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord. MS symptoms are variable and unpredictable and is different in each patient. A hallmark of this disease is that the symptoms typically fluctuate over space and time. This means that symptoms vary in different areas of the body and different symptoms occur at different times.
