MS is an inflammatory disease that afflicts the central nervous system, the brain and the spinal cord. The isolating layer surrounding the nerves (myelin) is lost, leaving scar tissue called sclerosis (also known as plaques or lesions). These damaged areas slow down nerve impulses.
The symptoms are quite varied, depending on where the plaques or lesions form. MS often presents in recurring attacks, in which the symptoms become worse or new symptoms appear. Between attacks, the symptoms can improve or remain constant. A first sign is often an inflammation of the eye nerve.
