Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It is commonly linked to immune activity that damages myelin, the protective covering around nerves. When myelin is disrupted, nerve signals do not travel as smoothly, which can lead to a wide range of symptoms.
MS can look different from person to person. Symptoms may come and go, change over time, or show up in patterns that are hard to predict. Supportive care can be a meaningful part of living well with multiple sclerosis, especially when fatigue, mobility, and cognition are part of the picture.
