Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. MS manifests in different patterns of inflammation based on the location and levels of scarring, demyelination and axonal damage throughout the brain and spinal cord which leads to a wide range of symptoms. Damage occurs where the immune system attacks the myelin, a protective layer around nerve fibers. This inflammation, scar tissue and lesions to the nerves result in a wide range of symptoms. MS generally targets those between ages 20 and 40.

4 Main Types of Multiple Sclerosis

Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS): Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) involves defined relapses of the disease following remissions. During remission, the disease does not progress.

These episodes can be monofocal with one lesion causing one symptom, or multifocal with more than one lesion and/or symptom.

Primary-progressive MS (PPMS): Primary-progressive MS (PPMS) involves progressively declining neurological function for the onset of symptoms.

Secondary-progressive MS (SPMS) is the term for when Relapsing-remitting MS becomes more progressive and symptoms become more constant.

3 Major Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
