Get The Facts
Medical research has yet to identify a specific cause or cure for multiple sclerosis, but here are some facts we do know:
-MS affects the central nervous system which is made up of the brain and spinal cord and controls the activities of the entire body.
-The cause of MS isn’t fully understood, but researchers have identified elements that contribute to developing MS, including genetic and environmental factors.
-Many people with MS “look fine” on the outside, but struggle with daily tasks and activities due to their condition. MS is an “invisible illness” for many.
-MS affects every person differently. Some people with MS can continue to work and experience mild to moderate symptoms, while others may use a wheelchair or be unable to work due to their condition.
-The most common MS symptoms include fatigue, numbness and tingling, memory loss and brain fog, muscle spasms and weakness, heat sensitivity, bladder problems, pain, foot drop, vision problems, sexual dysfunction, and hearing loss.
