10. Multiple Sclerosis

Even compared to other autoimmune disorders, multiple sclerosis (MS) is unpredictable and serious. Multiple sclerosis occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheaths that protect nerve fibers, leading to communication problems between the body and the brain. As with most neurological conditions, numbness or tingling in the hands is an early sign. MS has no cure. Some people lose their ability to move certain limbs, while others have long periods of remission with no new symptoms.
