Today is National MS Day. Today people with MS are suppose to make other people more aware of the devestating effects of MS and answer any questions that people may have. So here we go: Multiple sclerosis is a disease affecting the brain and spinal cord (also known as the central nervous system), the causes of which are still unknown. The disease can be relatively mild or severely debilitating, and is the leading cause of disability among young adults ages 20 to 40. There are four main types of multiple sclerosis: relapsing-remitting, primary-progressive, secondary-progressive, and progressive-relapsing.
