Multiple Sclerosis & Demylination Diseases

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS) and causes demyelination or damage to the protective covering of nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord. The symptoms of MS can vary widely depending on the location and extent of the damage but can include muscle weakness, difficulty with coordination and balance, vision problems, cognitive impairment, and fatigue.
