Disease/Condition Glossary

Multiple sclerosis: It is an autoimmune disease (the body attacks itself by mistake) that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The immune system damages the myelin sheath (protective covering surrounding the nerve cells), leading to disrupted communication between the brain and the body. People suffering from multiple sclerosis may experience loss of muscle coordination, numbness, weakness, and problems with bladder control, vision, and speech.
