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.
When this occurs, nerve communication is disrupted. An individual with MS experience various degrees of neurological impairment depending on the location and extent of the scarring. Although there is no known cure for MS at this time, there is much that can be done to improving quality of life.
