Multiple sclerosis or MS is a debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, including the optic nerves, spinal cord, and brain. Diagnosis of MS can be difficult. Common symptoms range from muscle spasms and poor coordination to blindness and bladder problems. Some people also develop mental changes due to the disease's effect on the brain. There is no cure for multiple sclerosis, but rehabilitation and medication can keep the disease in long-term remission.
