What is Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS), where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, called myelin, causing inflammation and damage. This disrupts the normal flow of electrical impulses along the nerves, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms.
