What is Multiple Sclerosis?<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. This happens when the antibodies that should be working to protect the body attack the body, and begin to consume the substance that protects and surrounds the nerve cells. This is called the myelin sheath.<\/p>\n

The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain, the optic nerves, and the spinal cord. This is why the symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) affect these parts of the body, since the damaged myelin blocks or slows down the messages sent by the brain to these parts of the body.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
