Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the brain and spinal cord limiting movement, vision, and others. Known as an autoimmune disorder, this chronic disease of the central nervous system slows or blocks signals between the brain and the rest of the body. The cause for this blocked signal is due to the deterioration of the myelin sheath around nerves, which helps move signals throughout the body. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, lack of coordination, difficulty walking, blurry vision, vertigo, slurred speech, cognitive problems, and others. Unfortunately, there is no cure for MS, but there are treatments to slow progression and manage symptoms. Scientists are still trying to understand the mechanism behind MS and develop treatments that will improve quality of life for patients.
