MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) by https://padlet.com/multiple_sclerosis/MUXICARIVEROS chronic neurodegenerative disease that damages the central nervous system, which involves the brain and spinal cord. This Autoimmune disease attacks a protective layer around nerve fibers called myelin, Which prejudices brain signals. en-us 2016-07-03 21:06:31 UTC 2025-04-16 16:15:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Diskette.png CAUSES multiple_sclerosis https://padlet.com/multiple_sclerosis/MUXICARIVEROS/wish/115866092 The real reason for this disease is really unknown as it's characterised as an autoimmune disease. It consists of our own immune system to trigger and attack myelin, which is a fatty substance that surrounds the axon of the nerve cell.
These white substances act as an insulator for the electron impulses the nerve transmits. 
This attack cause the electric impulse to slow down or eradicate completely before arriving to the destiny.]]> 2016-07-03 21:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/multiple_sclerosis/MUXICARIVEROS/wish/115866092 multiple_sclerosis https://padlet.com/multiple_sclerosis/MUXICARIVEROS/wish/115866729 There are only a few of the nerve cells that count with this insulator Such as, the spinal cord and brain because they are main cells that transmit impulses throughout the entire body.  The damaged is directly caused because of inflammation of this layer.]]> 2016-07-03 21:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/multiple_sclerosis/MUXICARIVEROS/wish/115866729 SYMPTOMS  multiple_sclerosis https://padlet.com/multiple_sclerosis/MUXICARIVEROS/wish/115866917 They vary depending on the person and during the course of the disease.  There are different symptoms depending on the area affected.

  • Corticosteroids
  • Beta interferons 
  • Glatiramer  acetate 
  • Dimethyl fumarate
  • Teriflunomide
  • Mitoxantrone

    • All of the treatments above work by suppressing the activity of the body’s immune system. Even though they do not cure multiple sclerosis they contribute on the subjection of the disease frequency and severity. 

    When it comes to whether or when to begin treatment with one of these medications, the decision might be best if it is made by you and your doctor since MS medication differs in terms of the type of lesion, side effects, benefits, progression, MS stage and personal lifestyle. it is important to find a treatment you can use comfortably and consistently.
