Multiple Sclerosis: An Enigma Explored by Terry Crawford Palardy

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by inflammation and damage to the myelin sheath, which insulates the nerve fibers. This damage interrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms.
