Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. In MS, the immune system attacks the protective covering on nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including weakness, numbness, balance issues, and cognitive impairment. MS is unpredictable and varies widely in its presentation, so treatment plans are individualized to address each person’s specific symptoms and needs. There are several medications and therapies available that can slow the progression of the disease and manage symptoms.
