Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the central nervous systems of the body is attacked by the immune system, this causes damage to the protective sheath that covers the nerves.
Damage to this sheath ( myelin) interferes with the flow of information to the brain and the other parts of the body. In some cases the nerves may deteriorate so drastically that the damage is permanent. This can affect the motor and sensory skills such as walking and eyesight.

Multiple Sclerosis Types and Specialized Treatment
Multiple Sclerosis is affecting about 2.5 million people globally. This disorder mainly affects young adults and primarily targets women with different levels of severity with symptoms that range from mood disturbances and fatigue to cognitive loss, pain, and motor sensory impairment.
There are a few multiple sclerosis subtypes. Up to 75% of cases begin with a relapsing-remitting (RRMS) course, which involves intense attacks that are separated over time, with complete or partial recovery. The primary-progressive (PPMS) subtype involves a progression of disability with occasional plateaus and minor improvements. Approximately 6-10% of people with multiple sclerosis appear to have PPMS at diagnosis. The secondary-progressive (SPMS) subtype is characterized by progression of the disease at a fluctuating rate.
