Understanding Multiple Sclerosis

KDAH

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, damaging the protective covering of nerve fibers called myelin and disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. As a result, MS can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, numbness or weakness in limbs, vision problems, difficulties with coordination and balance, and cognitive impairment. Treatment aims to manage symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, and improve quality of life through medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical advice promptly to receive an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment. #WorldMultipleSclerosisDay #MSAwareness #Neurology #ChronicIllness #Healthcare #NeurologicalDisorders
