What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

Multiple Sclerosis is a long-term neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerves (myelin), leading to disrupted communication between the brain and the body.

MS is unpredictable and presents differently in each individual. Some people experience mild symptoms, while others face more complex challenges over time.

Symptoms of MS May Include:

Muscle weakness or stiffness
Balance and coordination problems
Fatigue
Blurred or double vision
Numbness or tingling
Difficulty walking
Bladder or bowel dysfunction
Cognitive changes (memory, focus)
Mood changes, including anxiety or depression

Symptoms may appear in episodes (relapses) or progress gradually, depending on the type of MS.
