What is MS?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, degenerative neurological disease that affects the central nervous system which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.
In MS, the body’s immune system attacks the protective fatty material or sheath, known as myelin, which covers the nerve. Myelin protects and insulates nerves so that electrical messages from the brain can be sent to the rest of the body quickly and efficiently.
As the nerves become exposed and scarred, the brain cannot communicate effectively with the rest of the body, leading to a range of symptoms from motor control, neurological, neuropsychological, fatigue to bladder and bowel dysfunction.
While there is no known cure for MS, therapeutic and technological advances can help to manage MS symptoms. A coordinated multidisciplinary care approach can help people living with MS to live well, which is why MS Society SA & NT is dedicated to supporting you throughout your journey.
