General Description
Multiple Sclerosis is widely believed to be an immune system disorder that causes the body's own antibodies to attack the myelin sheath in the brain and the spinal cord causing inflammation and scaring. The myelin sheath is a fatty type wrapping that surrounds the nerve fibers throughout the nervous system of the body. The disease is progressive and slowly degenerates the entire central nervous system. The term Sclerosis actually means "to harden" and Multiple refers to "many locations" throughout the central nervous system.

The scaring and damage reduces the communication of nerve endings, thus producing problematic symptoms in speech, vision, and mobility. Symptoms vary by individual. Early stage indications may include:
dizzy episodes
chronic fatigue
dysfunctional bowels
vision blurring or doubled
tingling or numbness in the hands or feet
balance problems
stiff muscles
slurred speech
tremors

Additional conditions will occur as the disease progresses and symptoms typically follow a pattern of on again, off again reoccurrences. The disease can progress slowly or rapidly depending on the individual, but generally continues to progresses to more sever attacks. Women are affected twice as often as men and the disease is rarely diagnosed in children and in people over 60 years of age.
