Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that not many people truly understand. It is a disease that has a chronic affect that interferes with the messages that the nervous system sends. Your nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves. What seems to happen with this disease is that the defense system that the body has seems to turn on its self and attack the myelin that is protecting the nerve fibers in the spinal cord. Myelin is a fatty substance that is surrounding the nerve fibers located in the nervous system. When the myelin gets damaged you are left with some scar tissue, causing the nerve messages to become distorted and almost unreadable. Since the messages are unreadable it causes different symptoms for each diagnosed person. This symptoms can range from many levels of severeness. You may only be numb or it can be as severe as loss of vision or body motion. There are different types of stages that Multiple Sclerosis can be found. They are labeled by the type of severity your symptoms are.
