Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerves (myelin), causing communication issues between the brain and body. MS affects the central nervous system, leading to a variety of symptoms that can disrupt daily life with fatigue and mobility issues. When it is severe, some individuals may face cognitive difficulties such as difficulties in reading, writing, understanding, or making any decision.
