Multiple Sclerosis

Overview

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory demyelinating lesions of the central nervous system white matter. Damage to the myelin sheath disrupts nerve signal transmission, causing varied symptoms that affect movement, sensation, and cognition.

Symptoms

• Limb weakness
• Decreased vision
• Sensory disturbance
• Ataxia
• Double vision

Treatment

Use corticosteroids during acute relapses and disease-modifying therapy in remission to reduce relapses.

Dietary advice

Maintain balanced nutrition, supplement vitamin D, and eat foods rich in quality protein and antioxidants.
