Multiple sclerosis is a progressive, sometimes disabling disease that affects the central nervous system. Multiple sclerosis (MS), also called sclerosis neuropathies, is when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy nerve cells and myelin sheath around the spinal cord and brain. It is diagnosed when the symptoms of multiple sclerosis become apparent. Multiple sclerosis can be one of several types of neurological disorders. It can affect any part of the body but is most often found in areas of the body that have a high concentration of nerve tissue.
People with multiple sclerosis usually experience some combination of pain, motor weakness, loss of balance, and sensory disturbance. Multiple Sclerosis patients may also experience fatigue, shortness of breath, decreased energy levels, depression, irritability, muscle weakness, decreased mental alertness, and difficulty concentrating. All of these symptoms can lead to other health problems, such as fatigue, depression, and low concentration.
Multiple Sclerosis symptoms are sometimes mistaken for a number of other illnesses or diseases. In order to detect whether the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis are related to other health issues, doctors must perform a series of tests that include blood tests, MRI tests, and X-rays. If symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis are present, a doctor should seek a physician who specializes in the disease to determine if there is a possibility that the symptoms are related to a more serious condition or if the numbness, muscle weakness, and depression are signs of other conditions that require immediate medical care.
