What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord and causes demyelination; disruption of the myelin that insulates and protects nerve cells. It is classified as an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body. The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria and viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to attack them.

Types of MS:
Diagnosis:
Unlike other diseases, there is no specific test to diagnose a person with MS, doctors and other health care professionals only rely upon a patient's history, physical exam, and tests such as MRI, lumbar puncture, and evoked potential testing (speed of nerve impulses); other tests may be done to rule out other diseases that may cause similar symptoms so the process is long.
Treatment options include:
Treating the symptoms is the primary objective to stop the disease from progressing, people with MS have a normal life expectancy as well. Currently, there's nothing you can do to prevent getting MS, and research is ongoing into developing new medications, immune system modifications, and other ways to identify potential causes of MS.

Jan 15, 2021 at 15:05My husband was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and had a stroke a few years after his diagnosis. His conditions left him with problems with swallowing and burning mouth syndrome ,blurred vision BUT his gait improved after starting the multivitamincare .org formulas which they prescribe , he started swinging his stiff arm again and could write legible after the usage of their products . The chief of neurology at the multivitamin care always said his condition will reverse back to normal i did not believe not until last month here after his new result.
