Multiple Sclerosis
Overview
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system , which consists of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve leading to a wide range of symptoms. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis are unpredictable; they appear to be different for different individuals. Some may experience mild symptoms such as tingling sensation, numbness,blurred vision while others can face severe symptoms such as paralysis, vision loss, mobility problems etc. But it is a rare disease, the exact collection of data of the cases for multiple sclerosis is very difficult to find.
About multiple sclerosis
he exact cause of multiple sclerosis is not known but it is believed and observed that it is an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is a disease of the immune system. Attacks its own healthy cells.
Here in Multiple sclerosis the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, myelin sheath is the covering of nerve fibres which protects the nerve fibres and conducts electrical signals quickly and efficiently.
When the myelin sheath gets damaged, it leaves a scar or sclerosis, so multiple scars found on the myelin sheath are called multiple sclerosis.
They mainly affect the following areas:
- Brain stem
- Spinal cord
- Optic nerves
- Cerebellum which maintains the balance and coordination of movements.
As the number of scars increases the possibility of nerve damage and degeneration also increases. So the conduction of nerve signals gets disturbed and the body becomes unable to perform various functions.
