What is Multiple Scierosis?

Multiple Scierosis (MS) is an illness diagnosed in over 350,000 person in the United States today. There is still much to be learned about  multiple scierosis. MS typically has more than one (multiple) area of inflammation and scarring of the myelin in the brain and spinal cord. Myelin is the tissue that covers and protects our nerve fibers.
