Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system which inhibits the communication between the nerves. This causes a variety of symptoms including fatigue, bladder dysfunction, bowel problems, muscle weakness, tremor, numbness, difficulty thinking, difficulty speaking, depression, visual impairment and sexual dysfunction.
The disease is characterised according to the length and duration of relapses and remissions. Relapsing-remitting MS has times when symptoms are apparent followed by periods of complete or partial recovery. This course of disease is very unpredictable and very little is known about the factors which trigger a relapse.
Chronic progressive MS is characterised by a worsening of symptoms. If there are no periods of remission at all and symptoms become steadily worse, this is known as primary progressive MS. Secondary progressive MS is when relapsing-remitting MS progresses into the chronic form with more frequent relapses and fewer remissions; symptoms and disability become steadily worse.
Benign MS is where an initial attack is never followed by another one. If a relapse does not occur in the first 5 years after diagnosis it is likely to remain benign.
Very little is known about what causes MS and what makes it worse. There is no cure and many people try to change their diet or take nutritional supplements to see if this helps. However the evidence for doing so is controversial.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disease amongst young adults, diagnosis usually occurs between the ages of 20-40, although it can occur at any age. It is more prevalent in women than men.
It is estimated that in England and Wales about 1800 to 3400 people are newly diagnosed with MS each year, often during the spring. A total of 52,000 to 62,000 people each year are suffering from MS.
Relapsing-remitting MS is most common and occurs in approximately 80% of patients following diagnosis. Primary progressive MS occurs in 10-15% of patients diagnosed with MS. Secondary progressive MS occurs in 50-60% of patients within 10-15 years of diagnosis.
