Many but not all argue that adult MS is the same as pediatric MS; conversely there are many people that could argue that that is not the

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an enduring disease that can lead to a bad response of the immune system against the central nervous system. It can influence the brain and the nerves of the eyes. All this process appears when the immune system attacks the myelin around the nerves filaments. Therefore‚ the brain cannot send signs to the body‚ and thus the nerves cannot help the body to move regularly. Multiple Sclerosis is unique and different from other diseases due to its causes‚ symptoms‚ and treatment

The Pathology of Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease which affects the nervous system‚ namely the brain and spinal cord. It causes damage the myelin sheath‚ the material that surrounds and protects nerve cells (Marieb‚ 2012). This damage slows down the process in which the brain relays messages to the rest of the body‚ leading to a variety of symptoms. Some of the most common include pain and numbness; fatigue; walking‚ balance‚ and coordination problems; bladder and bowel

Multiple Sclerosis is often known as the “great crippler of young adults.” It causes various forms of sensory and motor skill problems as the disease progresses. MS affects a wide variety of people in any age group. MS is a long-term condition. Relapses are common and can last for up to 24 hours and several factors have been identified. There is no known cause for Multiple Sclerosis‚ but that does not stop scientist from trying to figure one out. Multiple Sclerosis is a “chronic inflammatory‚ demyelinating
