Answer 1

I have had multiple sclerosis for 20 years. It is a disease that affects the nervous system which carries messages to the brain. Essentially the body attacks itself and starts breaking the myelin down which is the coating that protects the nerves. There is a wide range of symptoms in sufferers. Some of the symptoms are numbness, tingling, pain, exhaustion, lack of balance, distorted vision, blindness , trouble walking, cognitive problems, lack of short term memory, mood swings, slurred speech, and depression. No one ever gets all the symptoms and the severity of the disease can vary widely from person to person. Most people have the type of MS referred to as relapsing remitting which means that the disease comes and goes. The progressive form of the disease means it gets worse and worse as time goes by. MS can be devastating or it can be no more than a nuisance. The disease is unpredictable but rarely fatal. No one knows what causes it or how to cure it.

i know someone who has it and bascially its a disease that attacks the nervous system , bascially signals from the brain to certain areas of the body are not able to recieved at a fast normal pace , for example a person with M.S may not be able to pick up a pencil as quickly as a person without M.S they may end up taking longer to do a simple task. Some peolple even end up in wheelchairs or scooters depending on how bad the M.S is , i suggest you check out the M.S society's website where you can find very useful information . Hope this helps
