Understanding Multiple Sclerosis (MS)​

Symptoms, Causes & Advanced Infusion Therapy

What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. 

In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin, the protective sheath that surrounds nerve fibres. This damage disrupts the normal transmission of nerve signals between the brain and the rest of the body. The resulting scarring or plaques on the nerve fibres give the disease its name: multiple sclerosis, meaning “multiple scars.”

Common Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

Muscle weakness or numbness

Difficulty walking or maintaining balance

Muscle stiffness
or spasticity

Sensory changes such as tingling or burning

Fatigue and cognitive issues, including memory or attention difficulties

Bladder or bowel dysfunction

Vision problems (optic neuritis, double vision, blurring of vision, etc.)

Symptoms can come and go in attacks (relapses) or worsen progressively over time, depending on the form of MS.
