Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition where the immune system attacks the protective covering (myelin) of nerves, disrupting communication between the brain and body.

Common Symptoms of MS

  • Vision problems (blurry or double vision)

  • Numbness or tingling in arms/legs

  • Fatigue

  • Muscle weakness or spasms

  • Difficulty with balance and coordination

Risk Factors

  • More common in women than men

  • Often diagnosed between ages 20–40

  • Genetic predisposition and environmental factors may play a role

Treatment Options

While there is no cure for MS, treatment helps slow progression and manage symptoms:

  • Medications: To reduce flare-ups and nerve damage

  • Physical Therapy: Helps maintain mobility and strength

  • Lifestyle Support: Stress reduction, exercise, and adequate rest
