What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system primarily involving inflammation, demyelination and neuronal loss. The effects of MS are varied depending on the location of the nerves affected, and the symptoms can come on rapidly or gradually over time.

The way that MS can affect person to person varies but can divided into the following four categories which can help to determine how the disease may progress over time.

Relapsing Remittent RRMS – short attacks with complete or partial return to normal.
Secondary Progressive SPMS – this begins as RRMS but the patient will experience a steady decline in function.
Primary Progressive PPMS- Patients experience a steady decline from the onset of symptoms.
Progressive Relapsing MS PRMS – Patients experience a steady decline from the initial onset of symptoms but with acute attacks accelerating the progression.

Symptoms of MS are:

Muscle weakness
Increased or reduced muscle tone
Reduced mobility- can be due to impaired balance and Drop Foot
Muscle spasms
Ataxia
Fatigue
Pain
Hypersensitivity or reduced sensation / sensory loss
Bladder and bowel problems
Speech and swallowing difficulties
Visual impairments
Cognitive impairment, depression, impaired concentration
