MS is caused by damage to the myelin sheath around the axons of neurons When the myelin sheath is damaged, electrical impulses across neurons slow or stop. Common symptoms are related to errors in nerve impulses: imbalance, incontinence, and painful muscle spasms.

Prognosis MS is not fatal. Most people who are affected with this disease have a normal life span and die of normal causes. It does, however affect quality of life. Most people do not need to use a wheelchair, but many use a walker or cane to help with walking. 20% of people have only mild symptoms for the rest of their lives. Another 20% experience rapid progression. Most people experience mild progression of symptoms.
