Stuart SchlossmanMultiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis, a nervous system disorder, can lead to a host of problems such as muscle weakness, memory complications, trouble with coordination and balance, and a numbness sensation.

In extreme cases, the person may also lose the ability to speak, write or walk. This disease directly affects the brain and spinal cord, and is generally observed to be more common in women than in men. This condition affects the myelin sheath of the brain, blocking the transmission of message between your brain and body.

Early warning signs of multiple sclerosis.One of the most common early signs of multiple sclerosis can be rapid visual changes and agonizing eye movements. Sudden loss of strength in arms and legs, along with other parts of the body or difficulty in breathing should be immediately checked for multiple sclerosis. Please make sure not to take these early warning signs as a sign of old age and check these signs with a healthcare professional immediately.

Causes of multiple sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis is caused because of the damage to the myelin sheath, the covering that protects the nerve cells in the brain. This further leads to inflammation of the damaged nerve around the area of the spinal cord, brain or optic nerve. People with afamily history of multiple sclerosis are generally more likely to get this disease. Also, do note that over-exposure to the sun, stress or hot baths combined with fever can worsen the causes of multiple sclerosis.
