Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious disease that worsens over time. The immune system harms the fatty coverings called myelin sheaths that are present around nerve cells in the central nervous system (CNS). This disease affects people differently and can cause problems with their bodies, eyesight, speech, and minds. Various risk factors associated with MS include lack of vitamins in the body, taking too much stress, smoking habits, being sick frequently as a youngster, and genetics of the person. In MS, infiltration of immune cells results in inflammation within the CNS, leading to the loss of the protective insulator known as "demyelination”. People with MS frequently experience severe pain and fatigue. They have weak muscles and have difficulty in moving and balancing. Their speech and vision can deteriorate over time. A doctor can assist a person with MS in managing their symptoms once they have been diagnosed. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of multiple sclerosis. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
