Question: What is Multiple Sclerosis?
:)

Answers:

Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is a condition in which the myelin in the body is attacked by the body's own white blood cells and antibodies. The myelin acts like a coat around the nerve. Without the myelin, the nerve is exposed and damage begins to occur to the sheath surrounding the nerve and finally the nerve itself is damaged. With damage comes scarring. The scarring prevents or slows down the body's nerve signals that control several functions such as strength, sensation, and vision and muscle coordination.
