Multiple Sclerosis

    Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS)—the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. MS is thought to be caused by an immune-mediated disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in the CNS.
