Multiple Sclerosis or MS is a disease that affects the Central Nervous System. That means your brain and spinal cord. Researchers believe it maybe due to an auto immune disease. That’s when the body attacks itself for some unknown reason. MS damages the lining of nerve cells which in turn disrupts communication between the brain and other parts of the body. It seems that MS range from mild to complete life destruction. Specifically, they include visual problems, thinking, memory problems, muscle weakness, trouble with coordination and balance and sensations like numbness or pins and needles. Although there is no known cure for MS, medication helps control symptoms for some people. Learn more about Multiple Sclerosis here or share your story or experience with icyou.
