\"\"Like traffic signs for drivers and pedestrians, the human body will provide signals to alert us. However, just like traffic signs, these signals will have no effect if we refuse to acknowledge them. By the end of today\u2019s post, I want you to be aware of the warning signs associated with multiple sclerosis.<\/p>\n

Before I share the warnings signs though, let\u2019s address some specifics about this disease.<\/p>\n

So, what is multiple sclerosis? Multiple sclerosis, also known as MS, is a disease of the central nervous system. Via this disease, interruption takes place in the way that the body shares information.<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that attacks the central nervous system, multiple sclerosis destroys the myelin and axons. Think of the myelin as a protective sheath formed around our nerves, and think of the axon as a nerve fiber that helps transmit signals of information to different neurons.<\/p>\n

Due to damages in the myelin and axon, diminished function in parts of the spinal cord and brain will occur.<\/p>\n

Although multiple sclerosis can happen in children, it\u2019s more likely to manifest in adults between the ages of 20 and 50. Additionally, MS is more prevalent in women. In fact, cases of multiple sclerosis are three times more common in women.<\/p>\n

In terms of prevalence, the disease occurs in most groups, but the risk is much lower for Asians, Native Americans, and Africans. However, the rate of multiple sclerosis is much higher for Caucasians of northern European ancestry.<\/p>\n

In the United States, roughly 1 million Americans are living with the disease, and the states\u00a0 above the equator experience MS twice that of southern states. There\u2019s still much uncertainty around this disease, so the scientific community unfortunately doesn\u2019t have all of the answers presently.<\/p>\n

With that said, we do understand certain elements of the disease, and this brings us to the core of today\u2019s topic.<\/p>\n
