Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition involving our central nervous system (CNS). With multiple sclerosis, our immune system attacks myelin (protective layer around our nerve fibers).
MS symptoms usually begin in young adults, between ages 20 and 40.
MS affects people differently. A small number of people with MS will have mild symptoms with little disability, but others will experience worsening symptoms that will lead to increased disability over time. Most people with MS have short periods of symptoms that resolve fully or partially after they appear. These periods are followed by long stretches without noticeable symptoms. Most people with MS have a normal life expectancy.
Myelin and the immune system
According to allopathic theory, in MS, the immune system attacks myelin in the central nervous system (brain and the spinal cord); while according to my research, MS is due to the deficiency of cholesterol and sodium chloride in the body.
Myelin is a mixture of protein and fatty acids (cholesterol) that makes up the protective cover (known as the myelin sheath) that coats nerve fibers (axons). Myelin is what gives the brain’s white matter its whitish appearance, it is made of 99% cholesterol and helps with communication between neurons.
In addition to causing damage to the myelin sheath, MS also damages the nerve cell bodies, which are found in the brain’s gray matter, as well as the axons themselves. As the disease progresses, the outermost layer of the brain (cerebral cortex), shrinks. This process is known as cortical atrophy. The way that cortical atrophy happens in MS may connect it with some neurodegenerative disorders.
Sclerosis is a medical term for the distinctive areas of scar-like tissue (also called plaques or lesions) that result from inflammation. These areas are visible on an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan. The patches of scar-like inflamed tissue can be as small as the head of a pin or as large as a golf ball.
The symptoms of MS depend on the severity of the inflammation(s) and damages as well as the location and size of the plaques.
Who is more likely to get multiple sclerosis?
Women are more likely to get MS than men. People of all races and ethnicities can get MS, but it’s most common in White people. Having a parent or sibling with MS increases the chances of a person getting MS, although MS itself isn’t an inherited disorder. 
Some of the known genes are like those that have been identified in people with other autoimmune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus.
Several viruses have been found in patients with MS, but the virus most consistently linked to the development of MS is the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) which causes infectious mononucleosis. Almost everyone has been infected by EBV at some point in their lives. Only about 5% of the population hasn’t been infected, and these people are at a lower risk for developing MS than those who have been infected. People who got EBV during childhood are at a lower risk of getting MS than people infected with EBV in adolescence or adulthood. But the vast majority of people who get infected with EBV aren’t going to develop MS.
Research indicates people who spend more time in the sun, and those with relatively higher levels of vitamin D, are less likely to develop MS than those who don’t, or they have a less severe course of disease and fewer relapses.
Bright sunlight helps human skin produce vitamin D (it’s means that sunlight improves the health of glands, which are responsible for making hormones for example vit-D). Researchers believe vitamin D may help regulate the immune system in ways that reduce the risk of MS and autoimmune disorders in general.
Types of multiple sclerosis
The course of MS is different for each person, which makes it difficult to predict how a person will do with the disease. While many different courses or progressions of MS have been used over the years, these are changing as the scientific and medical community better understands different ways the disease can progress.
Currently, the five courses used to describe MS are:
Clinically isolated syndrome:
Symptoms come from a single attack (also called “exacerbation” or “relapse”) followed by complete or near-complete recovery. MRI and other tests, such as a spinal tap or electrical vision tests, may show “silent” damage in other places in the central nervous system. If this damage is identified, it could allow a full diagnosis of MS even after a single attack.
Relapsing-remitting MS:
Symptoms come in the form of recurrent attacks with total or partial recovery. The periods of disease inactivity between MS attacks are referred to as remission. Weeks, months, or even years may pass before another attack happens, followed again by a period of inactivity. Treatment with disease-modifying therapies can reduce the frequency of attacks or eliminate them entirely. Most people with MS are initially diagnosed with this form.
Secondary-progressive MS:
Relapsing-remitting MS can gradually evolve into secondary-progressive MS. Attacks become less and less common but may still happen, and people gradually develop steady symptoms with deteriorated functioning over time. Secondary-progressive MS with attacks is called “active,” whereas secondary-progressive MS without attacks is called “non-relapsing.” Disease-modifying therapy for relapsing-remitting MS can delay and sometimes prevent secondary progressive MS, but the transition can happen even with treatment.
Primary-progressive MS:
This course of MS is less common and has progressively worsening symptoms from the beginning, with no noticeable acute attacks. But there may be temporary or minor relief from symptoms.
Radiologically isolated syndrome:
This is the rarest course of MS where a person has abnormal MRI results that look like MS, but doesn’t have MS symptoms. MS symptoms (attacks or progression) may happen in the future.
Rare multiple sclerosis
Three rare MS variants include:
- Tumefactive multiple sclerosis. A characterization of this variant of MS is the formation of large areas of demyelination in brain, which may appear similar to tumors. Often, a sample of brain tissue is needed to differentiate this from other issues, like brain cancers.
- Balo’s concentric sclerosis. A characteristic of this variant of MS is lesions with the appearance of concentric rings (in the shape of a target) of myelin damage appearing on an MRI, which gives this condition its name.
- Marburg variant multiple sclerosis. This is a very rare and aggressive form of MS characterized by rapid progression, which may result in death when left untreated.
Symptoms of multiple sclerosis
Early MS symptoms often include: 
- Vision problems, such as double vision or optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve), which causes pain with eye movement and vision loss,
- Muscle weakness, often in the arms and legs, and muscle stiffness with painful muscle spasms,
- Tingling, numbness, or pain in the arms, legs, trunk, or face,
- Clumsiness, especially difficulty staying balanced when walking,
- Bladder control problems,
- Intermittent or constant dizziness.
MS may also cause other symptoms, such as:
- Mental or physical fatigue,
- Mood changes such as depression or difficulty with emotional expression or control,
- Cognitive changes—including problems concentrating, multitasking, thinking, or learning, or difficulties with memory or judgment.
Muscle weakness, stiffness, and spasms may be severe enough to affect walking or standing. In some cases, MS leads to partial or complete paralysis.
Many people with MS find that their symptoms are worse when they have a fever or are exposed to heat or following common infections.
Pain is rarely the first sign of MS, but pain often happens with optic neuritis and trigeminal neuralgia. Painful limb spasms and sharp pain shooting down the legs or around the abdomen can also be symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
How is multiple sclerosis diagnosed?
Diagnosing MS
There’s no single test to diagnose multiple sclerosis. Doctors use different tests to rule out or confirm the diagnosis. In addition to a complete medical history, physical examination, and a detailed neurological examination, a doctor may recommend MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord to look for the characteristic lesions of multiple sclerosis. Gadolinium contrast may be injected into a vein to improve the brain images.
A doctor may also recommend:
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to obtain a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and examine it for proteins and inflammatory cells associated with the disease. This can also test for diseases that may look like MS.
- Evoked potential tests, which use electrodes placed on the skin and painless electric signals to measure how quickly and accurately the nervous system responds to stimulation.
- MRI of the optic nerves, optic coherence tomography (OCT), or visual evoked potentials to detect optic nerve lesions.
In most cases, doctors can diagnose MS by considering someone’s symptoms and identifying characteristic MS signs on an MRI.
Allopathic treatment for multiple sclerosis
There’s no cure for MS in allopathy, but there are some methods that can reduce the number and severity of relapses—and delay the long-term progression of the disease.
Doctors can prescribe corticosteroids, such as methylprednisolone, for three to five days—they’re usually injected into a vein. Corticosteroids quickly suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation for few hours. They may be followed by a progressively smaller dose of oral corticosteroids. Clinical trials have shown that these medicines don’t alter the long-term outcome of the disease.
Homeopathic treatment for multiple sclerosis
More than 7000 years old health (Homeopathic) system can treat MS very easy and forever, different research companies identified that rate of effectiveness of current and future Homeopathic therapies many times.
