1 Multiple sclerosis James parker

2 What is multiple sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a It is a chronic disease affecting more women than men often leading to progressive neurological deterioration and ataxic paraplegia. MS has cycles of remission and relapses with remission occurring less frequently as the disease progresses. Lesions occur in all parts of the CNS white matter appearing gray and translucent. Some of the more prominent structures affected are the medial longitudinal fasciculus and the optic tract and chiasm. Damage to the neurons in these structures can lead to optic neuritis (with complete loss of vision in one eye), diplopia (double vision) and problems coordinating eye and head movements. Onset of the disease is usually between the ages of 20 and 40 years of age.

3 How do you get it Scientist don’t know for sure how multiple sclerosis is acually caused

4 How do you cure it You can cure in the early stages with a bee serum but if you have had it for about fifteen years you cant cure because the disease has taken over so much of your body but you can take these daily injections called copaxone which copes with the pain tremmers loss of sight and troubles walking
