Symptoms can vary from person to person and can change over time. CausesMS occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in the central nervous system. This damage to the protective coating of nerve cells, called demyelination, can lead to paralysis. TreatmentThere is no cure for MS, but medications and physical therapy can help manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Early treatment can lead to better outcomes. PrognosisMost people with MS have a normal life expectancy, however end up dealing with degrading physical abilities and chronic symptoms over time .Learn more about Never Stop, Never Quit and Donate here:https://neverstopneverquit.com/To reach CBS Eye on Veterans Host, Phil [email protected] on social:@philbriggsVet@EyeOnVeterans
