What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

KDAH

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease where your immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering around your nerves. This disrupts communication between your brain and body. MS is not contagious, and it affects more women than men, usually between the ages of 20 and 40. Common symptoms include: * Tingling or numbness in hands and feet * Sudden vision problems * Trouble walking or staying balanced * Extreme fatigue that doesn’t go away with rest While there is no cure yet, there are effective treatments that can slow the progression, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life. Treatment often includes disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), steroids to manage flare-ups, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes like regular exercise and a healthy diet. Early diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan can make a significant difference in long-term outcomes. #WorldMultipleSclerosisDay #MSAwareness #BrainHealth #MSTreatment
