What is MS?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that impacts the central nervous system, but many people with MS lead fulfilling lives. Essentially, MS occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective layer around nerves, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, mobility challenges, or sensory changes. However, many find ways to adapt and thrive despite these challenges. Advances in treatment have made it possible to manage symptoms effectively and slow the disease’s progression. With the right support, lifestyle adjustments, and a positive mindset, MS individuals can continue pursuing their passions and maintaining meaningful connections in their lives.
