What is Multiple
sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common nervous
system disorder affecting young adults. In this condition, nerves in the
brain and spinal cord are progressively damaged, causing a wide range of
symptoms that affect sensation, movement, body functions, and
balance.
Specific symptoms may relate to the particular areas that are damaged and vary
in severity between individuals. For example, damage to the optic nerve
may cause blurred vision. If nerve fibres in the spinal cord are affected,
it may cause weakness and heaviness in the legs or arms. Damage to nerves
in the brain stem, the area of the brain that connects to the spinal cord, may
affect balance.
