Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis is a disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord i.e. central nervous system. There is a protective sheath known as Myelin which covers the nerve fibers and causes problems in communication in the brain and the rest body. This disease can cause permanent damage to the nerves.
The symptoms of this disease entirely depend on the nerve damage amount and also which nerves are affected. Many people suffering from MS lose the ability to walk while many others experience long remission periods.

Types of MS

Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS)
Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) involves disease relapses followed by remissions. In these periods, the symptoms are mild and no disease progression.
Primary Progressive MS (PPMS)
In this disease, the symptoms are more frequent and highly worse. However, short time stability can also occur. “Active” and “Non-active” terms describe these activities.
Multiple Sclerosis Causes
There are no specified causes of the Multiple Sclerosis. However, as per the doctors, in this disease, the immune systems start attacking its own tissues. It damages a protective layer of myelin around the nerve fibers. Myelin acts as an insulating layer of the electric wires. When it gets damaged, and the nerve fiber is exposed, the messages traveling along the nerve gets slows down or blocked.
Many researchers believe that there are some environmental factors and genetic problems that trigger this disease.
