In
multiple sclerosis (MS), impairment of the nerve fibres as well as the
myelin coating around the nerve fibres of the Central Nervous System
(CNS) impedes the transmission of nerve signals between the brain,
spinal cord and the rest of the body. Disruption of the nerve signals
cause the symptoms of MS, which vary from person to person and over
time for any given person depending on when and which part the
impairment happens in.
It is necessary to see proof of at least two areas of damage
in the CNS, which have happened at different times for a diagnosis of
MS.
