Multiple Sclerosis involves the loss of myelin, a material that covers and protects the nerves in the body's central nervous system. Once this loss occurs, nerves can't successfully communicate with one another. Symptoms vary from person-to-person, depending on what part of the nervous system is affected. This could include structures that control movement, sensation, and mental and emotional processes. Typically, the first sign of MS is a change in vision, which could be double vision. Most people who've been diagnosed with MS have also experienced difficulty walking and controlling their body movements.
