Multiple Sclerosis is a disease where the myelin sheath that covers the neurons gets damaged. There are many who do not know the correct MS Pronunciation or Multiple Sclerosis Pronunciation; this shows the lack of awareness surrounding this disease.
When the myelin is damaged, it impairs the conduction of signals from the brain to the nerves. The main function of the myelin sheath is to increase the speed of impulses along the sheath. It also prevents the electrical current from leaving the axon. Once the myelin sheath is damaged, it never regenerates perfectly. It may do so mildly, but would fail to find the correct muscle mass. At the same time, some neurons may die without re-growth. After the myelin is damaged the nerves begin to wither. Damage to the nerves can range from slight peripheral nerve damage to severe damage in the central nervous system.
