What is Multiple sclerosis? It's symptoms and treatment

Multiple sclerosis

Sometimes a defect in the immune system causes a protective layer around the nerve fibers called the myelin. It attacks and injures or breaks it. This makes it difficult for the brain to send signals to the rest of the body through myelin and thus disrupts communication between the brain and the body.

This long-term and incurable condition is called multiple sclerosis or MS for short.
