Multiple sclerosis is an often disabling disease that affects the nervous system and disrupts the flow of information and communication between the brain and the body. Most people are diagnosed with MS a little later in their life-time and the cause of the disease is still unknown. It seems that different environmental factors that one experiences can alter the likelihood and chances of an individual from developing multiple sclerosis. One of these factors includes the migration from one geographic area to another. Gender is also another factor, as more women are more likely to be diagnosed with the disease than men. Diseases like multiple sclerosis is devastating to me, as with all the research being done today, we still haven't found the specific reason for the onset. There is no cure for MS, but there are treatments that aid patients with slowing the progression of the disease.
