Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, potentially disabling neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Over time, this can lead to permanent nerve damage and progressive physical and cognitive impairment.

MS symptoms vary depending on the location and extent of nerve damage. Common signs include:

. Numbness or weakness in limbs, especially in the legs and trunk

. Electric-shock sensations triggered by neck movement (Lhermitte’s sign)

. Tremors, poor coordination, and unsteady gait

. Blurred or double vision, and in some cases, partial or complete vision loss

. Slurred speech, fatigue, dizziness

. Burning or itching sensations

. Sexual dysfunction, bowel irregularities, and bladder issues

The exact cause of MS remains unknown, but several factors may contribute:

. Exposure to certain viruses or bacteria

. Environmental influences and geographic location

. Autoimmune dysfunction, where immune cells attack healthy tissue

. Genetic predisposition or family history of neurological disorders

While there is no definitive cure for MS, treatment can help manage symptoms, reduce relapse frequency, and slow disease progression. Common therapies include:

. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐧-𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – Injected under the skin or into muscle to reduce inflammation and relapse rates

. 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐬 – To regulate immune response
