Advances In Multiple Sclerosis Treatment
July 6, 2017
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the body’s normally healthy immune system goes into hyperdrive and attacks the outer sheath of the body’s nerve fibers in the central nervous system and in the brain. This sheath, called myelin, becomes compromised, and as a result, people with MS develop a variety of conditions relating to the breakdown of the nervous system. Each person’s experience of MS is unique, though there are many warning signs that MS may be at work in the body. Some experience a loss of mobility, others can become unable to breathe unassisted. Some forms of MS can progress quickly and can even be fatal. Other forms can progress slowly or even go into remission.
