Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath of nerve fibers, leading to disrupted communication between the brain and other parts of the body. The disease is characterized by alternating periods of exacerbation and remission and can significantly deteriorate the quality of life.

Causes and Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

The exact causes of MS are not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Symptoms of MS may include:

  • Fatigue
  • Coordination and balance disorders
  • Muscle weakness and spasms
  • Vision problems (e.g., double vision, partial or complete loss of vision)
  • Numbness and tingling in the limbs
  • Speech difficulties
  • Bladder and bowel dysfunction
  • Cognitive impairments (memory and concentration problems)
