Researchers funded by the MS Society are working to What are some common MS symptoms? develop new and better treatments. Their ultimate goal is the MS symptoms are unpredictable and vary greatly cure for MS. from person to person. Symptoms may include: vision disturbances such as double or blurred vision; extreme fatigue; loss of balance; problems with coordina- tion; stiffness of muscles; speech problems; blad- der and bowel problems; short-term memory problems, and even partial or complete paralysis. Please keep in mind, not all people with MS will experience all symptoms and often the symptoms will improve during periods of remission.

Why do MS symptoms develop? MS attacks the protective covering — myelin — of the brain and spinal cord, causing inflamma- tion and often damaging the myelin in patches. When this happens, the usual flow of nerve impulses along nerve fibres (axons) is interrupted or distorted. The result may be the wide variety of MS symptoms, depending upon what part or parts of the central nervous system are affected. The damaged parts of myelin are often called “lesions” or “plaques”. There also is evidence that perma- nent damage to nerve fibres may occur in associ- ation with the attack on myelin.

What causes MS? We do not know as yet what causes MS. Most researchers believe that MS is an autoimmune dis- ease. For reasons that are still unclear, the body’s immune system malfunc- tions and starts attacking the myelin which protects the central nervous sys- tem. There is some evi- dence that MS may be triggered by a common virus, and that certain people are more suscepti- ble to developing MS because of genetic fac- tors. There is no evi- dence, however, that MS is a directly inherited dis- ease. A number of genes are probably involved in making some people more susceptible to MS.
