What is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and often disabling disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It is an autoimmune disorder, meaning that the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, called myelin. This damage disrupts the normal flow of electrical impulses along the nerves, leading to a wide range of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms.

Perhaps the scariest thing that can happen to a person is receiving an MS diagnosis. Because most individuals don't have a good understanding of the disorder, a newly diagnosed person may travel down a confusing path driven by false information. This e-book is a thorough reference that offers tips and tricks to assist you as you navigate your MS journey.
