Learn About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease which attacks the central nervous system. It affects more than 2.1 million people worldwide, and is twice as common in women. Patients are usually diagnosed with MS between the ages of 20 and 50. There is currently no cure, but treatment can involve medications, rehabilitation and lifestyle modification.
Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
Common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include fatigue, numbness, trouble with walking, balancing and coordination, bladder dysfunction, vision problems, pain and cognitive dysfunction, including an inability to learn and remember information, organize, plan and solve problems.
Less common symptoms might include difficulty swallowing, headaches, speech disorder, hearing loss, seizures and respiratory problems.
Multiple Sclerosis Treatment
Although there is currently no cure for MS, a person living with the disease can have an increased quality of life with the help of physicians, pharmacists and loved ones. Most treatments involve a combination of medications and nonpharmacologic interventions, such as rehabilitation and lifestyle modification. Patients see the best results when they adhere to the treatment designed for their individual needs.
