Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the central nervous system, especially in the spinal cord and brain.
MS is not contagious and cannot be fully treated, but can be treated and controlled with certain drugs and therapy.
Symptoms of MS can be different in everyone, including difficulty walking, muscle weakness, chronic fatigue, and cognitive disorders.
MS is more common in women than men, and usually starts to appear between the ages of 20-40 years.
There are several risk factors related to MS, including genetic factors, the environment, and viral infections.
MS can be identified through medical tests, including MRI and spinal fluid tests.
There are several types of MS, including relapse -mitting MS (RRMS), Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS), and Primary Progressive MS (PPMS).
There are many organizations and communities of support for people who live with MS, including the National MS Society and MS International Federation.
Although MS can affect the quality of one's life, many people with MS can still live a healthy and productive life.
MS is the focus of active research, with many efforts made to understand the causes and better treatment for this condition.
