Multiple Sclerosis    M.S.        USA

Multiple sclerosis, also known as MS,

happens when the body's immune system

attacks the central nervous system,

which includes the brain and spinal cord

and optic nerves.

As a result, the myelin,

a fatty substance that serves

as a protective layer for nerve fibers,

is damaged

and it becomes more difficult for messages

to reach the central nervous system.

Some symptoms of MS include weakness,

fatigue, difficulty walking and seeing,

chronic pain and muscle spasms,

according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
