ms treatment
Genetic vulnerabilities and environmental factors combine to cause MS. Many people with MS live close to a normal life expectancy.
ms treatment
People with MS may experience a variety of symptoms, depending on where and how much nerve fibers are damaged.
ms treatment
Symptoms of MS vary. Most people have relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). Attacks last for days, weeks, or months and are followed by periods of reduced symptoms called remissions.
ms treatment
In MS your immune system mistakenly attacks your central nervous system. This damages the protective covering around your nerves (called myelin) and interferes with messages travelling along them.
ms treatment
Symptoms include tingling, pins and needles, numbness, uncontrollable shaking (tremor), muscle weakness or spasticity, trouble walking, bladder and bowel problems, and fatigue. Some people with MS get worse over time.
ms treatment
In MS, your immune system mistakenly attacks the covering that protects nerves in the central nervous system, known as myelin. These changes can slow down or block messages sent to and from different parts of the body.
ms treatment
MS attacks the axons of the central nervous system, protected by myelin. When this is damaged, messages don’t travel as quickly or may not get through at all.
ms treatment
MS affects the parts of the central nervous system that control movement, balance and vision. Symptoms can vary from person to person.
