Multiple Scelrosis

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers (myelin), leading to communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body.

Common Symptoms:

• Fatigue: Persistent feelings of tiredness and lack of energy.
• Difficulty with coordination and balance: Experiencing unsteady movements, clumsiness, or trouble with balance.
• Numbness or tingling: Sensations of numbness, tingling, or pins and needles in various body parts.
• Muscle weakness: Weakness or difficulty in moving certain muscles, leading to problems with walking or performing daily tasks.
• Visual disturbances: Blurred vision, double vision, or loss of vision in one eye.
• Cognitive difficulties: Problems with memory, attention, and concentration.
• Bowel and bladder dysfunction: Issues with bowel or bladder control, such as frequent urination or constipation.
• Emotional changes: Mood swings, depression, or anxiety.

Causes:

The exact cause of MS is still unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Certain factors, such as a family history of MS, certain infections, smoking, and low vitamin D levels, may increase the risk of developing the disease
