Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Care
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune neurological disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers (myelin) in the brain and spinal cord. This leads to disrupted communication between the brain and the rest of the body, causing a wide range of symptoms.
