What is Multiple Sclerosis? Multiple Sclerosis- A progressive disease in which the myelin sheath surrounding the nerves degenerates and causes failures in the body’s neurological system. (Dunn J., Leitschuh C.)

Description -Autoimmune (immune system attacks the body instead of attacking bacteria in the body) -Effects protective covering of nerves known as the myelin sheath (demyelization)- scar tissue builds up and destroys the layer of myelin -after demyelization the nerves can not transmit signals properly or sometimes not at all

Effects of Demyelization/MS Blurs vision/eye pain/double vision Decreases Coordination Muscle stiffness Difficulty controlling urination Numbness/tingling

Effects Cont’d Short term memory loss Unclear thinking or “brain fog” Decreased ability to make decisions/solve problems Stress and fatigue may magnify symptoms

Treatments No cure Treatments can help control symptoms and in some cases slow down the progression of MS
