Multiple sclerosis (abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelitis disseminata) is a disease in which the fatty myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged, leading to demyelination and scarring as well as a broad spectrum of signs and symptoms.Disease onset usually occurs in young adults, and it is more common in females.

MS affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other. Nerve cells communicate by sending electrical signals called action potentials down long fibers called axons which are wrapped in an insulating which are wrapped in an insulating substance.

Dr. Stanley van den Noort

MS often seems to disappear when people are in their 70s--but MS remains unpredictable and attacks can occur in this age group. In addition, other diseases take their toll. One of my older patients has Parkinson's disease, which is worse than her MS. Others have had strokes, breast cancer, diabetes, and other diseases associated with aging.
