In the United States alone, approximately 400,000 people are living with a condition called multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis, or MS for short, is an often-disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. The central nervous system is comprised of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. MS is often chronic, or recurrent, and extremely unpredictable. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, different people are likely to experience very different symptoms when it comes to MS, which means that the course of the disease may look very different from one person to another. Unfortunately, this can initially cause difficulties diagnosing the condition.
There are several different medications that have been shown to slow down the progression of MS, meaning that most people with MS do not become severely disabled. Most have a normal or near-normal life expectancy.
The official cause of MS is not yet known, but scientists believe a combination of various factors may be involved, including gender, genetics, age, geography, and ethnic background. Some common initial indicators of MS include fatigue, numbness, and walking or balance problems.
