In this episode, we discuss all things Multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, that attacks the myelin that covers the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms vary widely, but can include pain, numbness/tingling, eye manifestations, fatigue, difficulty walking, trouble with the bowel or bladder, vision changes, spasticity, cognitive and mood changes, speech problems, swallowing problems, and mood. There are varying courses of Multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is diagnosed via spinal tap, brain and spinal cord imaging, blood tests, and evoked potential tests.
