Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system including the brain and spinal cord. It causes damage to the myelin sheath that surrounds nerves, interfering with communication between the brain and body. Women are more likely to be affected and the causes are unknown but may include genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include numbness, weakness, fatigue, vision problems, and impaired coordination. While there is no cure, treatments can help reduce symptoms and the risk of relapse. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and diet may also help manage the disease.
