Description

MULTIPLE SCIEROSIS (MS) Multiple sclerosis (MS) damages the protective cover around nerves called myelin in your central nervous system. It can cause muscle weakness, vision changes, numbness and memory issues. While there isn’t a cure, treatment options can help you manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms can range from muscle weakness to vision loss. They tend to worsen during flares and improve during times of remission. It is not possible to predict how multiple sclerosis (MS) will progress in any individual. Some people have mild symptoms, such as blurred vision and numbness, and tingling in the limbs. In severe cases, a person may experience paralysis, vision loss, and mobility problems. However, this is not common. What causes multiple sclerosis? There are many possible causes of MS, such as: • Autoimmune disorders • Infectious agents, such as viruses • Environmental factors • Genetic factors
