Multiple Sclerosis is one of the most common disorders of the central nervous system, affecting more than 2.3 million people around the world, according to the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation. Multiple Sclerosis is one of the most common disorders of the central nervous system. Multiple sclerosis means "many scars," and this term refers to the areas that appear on the brain and spinal cord after the myelin covering our nerves is broken or dies. The lesion remains, but the injured myelin has a lesion. When signs begin to appear, these lesions are identified by an MRI.

Each individual with MS is diagnosed with MS is different, progressive, and difficult to recognize. The cause is also unknown.

Although there is no cure, therapies are being developed to help slow the progression of MS and reduce the symptoms. Education, study, and funding are all necessary to achieve certain goals.
