It's Time for the Truth about Autoimmunity!

	Multiple Sclerosis     Description:    MS is thought to be an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS consists of the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves. Surrounding and protecting the nerve fibers of the CNS is a fatty tissue called myelin, which helps nerve fibers conduct electrical impulses.   In MS, myelin is lost in multiple areas, leaving scar tissue called sclerosis. These damaged areas are also known as plaques or lesions.     Signs and Symptoms:   There are a wide range of signs and symptoms associated with MS.
